The General Directorate of Intellegence and Anti-Banditry (Gaullican: Direction générale de Renseignement et Contre-Banditisme, DIGERECOBA) is the national intellegence agency of Mabifia. Tasked with domestic and foreign intellegence as well as domestic security, the DIGERECOBA has been accused of functioning as a secret police under Mahmadou Jolleh-Bande and of being responsible for crimes against humanity in Makania, where they are believed to have strong ties to the Sans-Éclipses militia. The DIGERECOBA have also been responsible for several covert actions in other countries.
Founded in 1979, the DIGERECOBA is seen as the heir of the ANADER, the secret police under the Mabifian Democratic Republic. After democratisation, much of the apparatus of this organisation was absorbed by the new agency. The DIGERECOBA work in conjunction with several foreign intellegence agencies, which has drawn criticism to these agencies due to the DIGERECOBA's human rights record.
