Following a judgement by The Court of Justice of the European Union in Joined Cases C-37/20 | Luxembourg Business Registers and C-601/20 | Sovim, the Anti-money-laundering directive provision whereby the information on the beneficial ownership of companies incorporated within the territory of the Member States is accessible in all cases to any member of the general public was declared invalid. The ECJ opined that the interference with the rights guaranteed by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights entailed by that measure is neither limited to what is strictly necessary nor proportionate to the objective pursued.
