TheNational Organised Crime Group, the original name was Organised and Financial Crime Agency of New Zealand (OFCANZ), which was renamed and merged into theNew Zealand Police in April 2017.[2][3] The group's stated objective is to "disrupt and combat organised crime".
TheFifth Labour Government in 2007 announced the intention to create the agency, saying it would replace theSerious Fraud Office.[4][5] OFCANZ was formed on 1 July 2008 (though in December 2008, the new National Prime MinisterJohn Key said that the Serious Fraud Office would not be abolished).[6]
The agency led its first raid on 28 October 2009, serving search warrants on members of theTribesmen Motorcycle Club in Northland.[7]
