Message from the DG FIA

    It is with a sense of honor a responsibility that I have assumed the charge of Director General of the Federal Investigation Agency. This organization is not new to me, as I have served in FIA twice in the past in different capacities. The responsibility to lead the premier investigative agency of the country, however, is a great challenge, and I pray to the Almighty to give me the strength and the courage to shoulder it.

The FIA is a multi faceted agency dealing with serious and organized crime. It has jurisdiction over matters important to the international community like immigration, anti-human trafficking, protection of intellectual property rights, cyber crime and money laundering. At the same time it is lead agency for investigation of important cases of terrorism and terrorist financing. The recently added responsibility of investigation of cases of economic crime and anti corruption have further diversified the range of investigative work of the organization. The international community, the citizens and Government of Pakistan expect the FIA to perform as a professional and competent organization.

The FIA as an organization would strive to deliver the best services possible to the national and international community through a team of dedicated, professional and competent officials. We assure full adherence to our motto of “Commitment to combating organized crime” in an efficient skilled and impartial manner.

Acutely aware of the critical importance of the role of the public, the international organizations, the local NGOs and media in making FIA a responsive, accountable and service oriented organization, we would welcome comments and a suggestions, from all stakeholders. We will ensure that we are able to establish a participative relationship with all stakeholders.

I and my team assure you of utmost commitment, dedication and hard work, to strive to make FIA meet the challenges of the future and expectations of the people. We hope to build upon the good image that the organization has earned under the leadership of my predecessors. We remain committed to making FIA a role model for other public service organizations and lead the way in providing a world class, efficient and professional service.

Syed Tahsin Anwar Ali Shah
      Director General FIA.
