The 2026 #FIFAWorldCup is here!⚽But so are the fakes... Counterfeit jerseys, shoes, souvenirs can contain toxic chemicals and pose real safety risks. OLAF is coordinating global enforcement to keep dangerous goods away from fans. Let's keep the game clean: on and off the field⚽

Welcome to Brussels, and to OLAF! 🙋 We were pleased to receive a delegation from the Gangnam-gu District Office, Seoul 🇰🇷here to learn about how OLAF fights fraud and protects public funds. A timely visit, coinciding with the first EU–South Korea summit in three years. 💪

A €200 billion budget means €200 billion to protect: spent correctly, transparently, and for the right purposes. Protecting the EU's financial interests is at the heart of everything OLAF does.

🇵🇹Feliz Dia de Portugal! Happy Portugal Day!✨ Not the typical way to mark the occasion... but when you work in anti-fraud, seizing 14,000 fake truck parts with your Portuguese colleagues counts as a celebration. 🚚 @AsaeGov

Effective justice systems and independent oversight bodies are essential to protecting the EU's financial interests. A cause close to our work at OLAF.

At OLAF, protecting EU consumers is at the heart of what we do, and that includes what's in your kitchen. Olive oil fraud is more common than you would think. Agreements like this one help keep your bottle authentic. 🫒

If olives are fruit, is olive oil fruit juice? In May, Parliament approved changes to Article 36 of the 2015 International Agreement on Olive Oil and Table Olives. The agreement can be extended in 5-year periods, helping protect trade, quality standards and consumer rights.
