Federal Investigation Agency
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Federal Investigation Agency of Pakistan is a national investigative agency with a wide role in anti-terrorism, anti-corruption, human smuggling and copyright infringement policing.
In 2005, the FIA led a series of high profile raids on companies involved in video piracy. It was also reported that 110 FIA personnel were investigated for their alleged role in human trafficking and most of them were dismissed from service.[1][2]
In 2006, the FIA resumed operational links with its Indian counterpart, the Central Bureau of Investigation, after a gap of 17 years.[3][4]
