The Federal Investigations Agency (Agencia Federal de Investigación in Spanish, also AFI) is an elite Mexican federal agency set up on November 1, 2001 to fight corruption and organized crime, through an executive order by Mexican President Vicente Fox Quesada. The AFI replaced an earlier agency, the Federal Judicial Police. The agency is directed by the Mexican Attorney General's Office and may have been partly modeled on the FBI of the United States.
