European Anti-Fraud Office

The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) is an organization within the European Union that investigates and prevents fraud, corruption, and misconduct affecting EU funds. Its goal is to protect the financial interests of the EU by conducting independent investigations into illegal activities, such as misuse of funds or fraud schemes. OLAF works closely with national authorities and provides evidence to support enforcement actions. It also promotes integrity and transparency in EU operations, ensuring taxpayers’ money is used responsibly and effectively across member countries.
