How to get sExtracts from records of beneficial ownership registers in EU countries
Pursuant to Directive (EU) 2015/849 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering or terrorist financing (the so-called 4th ALM Directive), EU Member States are obliged to establish a register of beneficial owners of legal persons and trusts.
