The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is a Nigerian law enforcement agency established in 2003 to investigate financial crimes such as advance fee fraud (419) and money laundering. The EFCC was established partially in response to pressure from the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF), which named Nigeria as one of 23 countries that were non-cooperative in the international community's efforts to fight money laundering. The agency has its head office in Abuja, Nigeria.
