More InformationIn the latest episode of Integrity Insights, Filip Brokes is joined by Thom Townsend, Executive Director of Open Ownership, about the evolving global landscape of beneficial ownership transparency.
The conversation revisits one of the major turning points in the transparency agenda: the November 2022 Court of Justice of the European Union ruling, which restricted unrestricted public access to beneficial ownership registers. Thom explains how the decision created a “seismic shift” in Europe and beyond, prompting some jurisdictions to pause reforms or reassess public access models. At the same time, he highlights that the ruling also confirmed an important role for civil society, journalists and academia in fighting money laundering through access based on legitimate interest.
