The Autorità Nazionale Anticorruzione (ANAC) was established by Law No. 190 of 2012 and restructured into its current form by Decree-Law No. 90 of 2014, which merged several prior bodies into a single independent anti-corruption authority.
ANAC's five-member Board (including the President) is appointed for a single non-renewable six-year term by presidential decree following approval by the Council of Ministers and a favourable opinion of the competent parliamentary committees by two-thirds majority. ANAC is financed through contributions levied on the supervised public procurement market rather than through state budget appropriations, giving it genuine financial independence.
Its mandate covers anti-corruption strategy and compliance, transparency and open-data obligations of public administrations, supervision of public contracting, and protection of whistleblowers. ANAC has broad inspection and investigative powers and may issue binding pre-litigation opinions and impose administrative sanctions.
