Özet: International and intergovernmental institutions start to be seen more on the international stage particularly for combatting transnational crimes. Fighting against those crimes causes states to ignore partly their sovereignty cause and more collaborate with these institutions and their new applications. In this sense, EU’s investigative tool, OLAF has been turning into a more significant institution within the EU and partner countries. OLAF’s investigations are mainly on financial crimes from misuses of EU’s funds to customs-related issues. The key position of customs at OLAF’s investigation rates and organization is very clear, so much that comes right after funds-related matters. Along with OLAF itself, its programs and sub-programs, like AFIS, ATIS are closely related to works of customs administrations, as well. As a part of customs union, Turkey has a unique relations with OLAF, like its strange relations with the EU, and, it remains to be seen that whether the interaction between Turkey and OLAF will breed new opportunities or obstacles on the way of Turkey’s EU adventure
