Various crimes were featured, including kidnapping, slavery, child abuse, and various drug-related crimes. The team was equipped with hidden cameras for doing entrapment operations with the help of the Philippine National Police, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Optical Media Board, the Bureau of Customs, the Bureau of Immigration, the Commission on Human Rights, the National Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.
From crime reports, the show expanded into an all-around investigative show. It features societal problems such as corruption, problems in local governments, illegal activities, poverty, disloyalty, cleanliness, education, wasted public funds, the youth and public health and safety.{{cite web|url=http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/45338/publicaffairs/juan-tanga |title=Juan Tanga? |website=GMA Network |date=June 6, 2007}} The show started dramatizations on January 19, 2014.{{cite web|url=http://www.mb.com.ph/imbestigador-to-air-saturdays |title=Imbestigador to air Saturdays |website=Manila Bulletin |date=July 19, 2014}}
