The Government pledged to reorganize ANAF, which currently has 221 local departments, and downsize it to eight regional units and 47 local offices. The tax authority will take over the attributions of the National Customs Authority and the Financial Guard, under a EUR70 million modernization project approved by the World Bank.
Earlier this year, Prime Minister Victor Ponta said ANAF, the customs authority, and the financial guard would be reorganized into an Antifraud Department that would participate in criminal investigations, assisted by organized crime prosecutors.
