Financial Intelligence Unit

A financial intelligence unit (FIU) is a national agency that receives reports of suspicious transactions from financial institutions and other persons or entities, analyses them, and disseminates the resulting intelligence to local Law enforcement agencies and foreign agencies. The activities of FIUs are generally geared towards combating tax evasion, money laundering, terrorist financing, Illicit trade, organised crime, or white-collar crimes.
