This Luxembourg Businessman Got Europe's #CorporateRegistries Shut Down. But Whose #Privacy Was He Protecting?

Fascinating article showing how the new #UK Register of Overseas Entities, launched in August 2022, which was meant to reveal who ultimately owns UK property, is being flouted.

I'd been out of the loop on #beneficialownership, but it seems things are regressing... in the #EU for a change! Following the Nov 2022 #CJEU decision that #publicregisters were breaching the #rightoprivacy, https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2022/11/22/la-justice-europeenne-met-un-frein-a-la-transparence-financiere_6151134_3234.html, many countries started pulling out of the #AML Directive. The latest is #France, who pulled out #bénéficiaireseffectifs from "#opendata, because of the #CJEU decision". Later, it claimed it'd been a technical rather than political issue. TBC?

Along with Patricia Brown, I co-authored a UNDESA policy brief on how beneficial ownership information can support fair taxation and financial integrity.

A thread on #beneficialownership, a recent hot topic. This brief argues that beneficial ownership information is essential for tackling illicit financial flows and can facilitate return of stolen assets.

Company ownership information provides a critical piece of the puzzle to help law enforcement agencies #followthemoney. This involves tracing transactions from bank account to bank account to link financial flows to individuals. #beneficialownership

In a judgment dated 22 November 2022, the European Court of Justice has decided that open public access to the beneficial owner registers of EU member state companies is no longer valid.

It's warped that the European Court of Justice would protect the identity of the real owners of companies when Europe needs to fight kleptocrats. It's also iniquitous at a time when the privacy of ordinary citizens remains so compromised by Big Tech.

It's warped when the European Court of Justice protects the identities of the real owners of companies in the name of privacy. Even more so when the privacy of ordinary citizens remains so compromised by Big Tech. What a crappy decision for public accountability. #beneficialownership @Curia @transparency
