EU countries should all now have publicly-accessible registers showing the true owners of companies #AMLD5

But there was no champagne. No trumpets🎺🍾

@TimmermansEU @VDombrovskis @ICIJorg @SZ The EU’s response was a new directive, AMLD5, requiring countries to publish registers of ownership🗂️by 10 Jan 2020 (i.e. last Friday)
