The Gibraltar Financial Intelligence Unit (GFIU) is a reputable organization established in January 1996. It specializes in gathering, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence related to criminal conduct. The GFIU's main focus areas include money laundering, the financing of terrorism, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Their dedicated team of professionals, comprising officers from the Royal Gibraltar Police, HM Customs, and the Civil Service, ensures that financial and other institutions comply with relevant legislation by receiving and analyzing suspicious transaction reports or suspicious activity reports (STRs/SARs). The GFIU collaborates closely with law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and financial institutions to prevent and combat economic crime effectively. Through their Project Nexus program, the GFIU also raises awareness about issues such as money laundering, terrorist financing, human trafficking, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Joining the worldwide Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units in 2004 further solidifies their commitment to international collaboration in combating financial crimes. With their strategic plan for 2023-26 prioritizing continuous improvement and adaptability, the GFIU is poised to exceed expectations and deliver meaningful results in their fight against economic crime
