The Financial Police [1] (German : Finanzpolizei) are an Austrian civilian police force under the authority of the Austrian Ministry of Finance. It was founded in 2013 after the Zollwache (Customs guard) was dissolved in 2005.
In October 1830 the predecessor organization was founded. During its existence the organization had different denominations like Gränzwache (Border guard), Finanzwache (Financial Guard) and until its liquidation in May 2004, Zollwache (Customs guard). The Italian Guardia di Finanza has its roots in the Austrian Finanzwache.
