Under the proposals specific rules concerning the register of beneficial owners will be defined at ordinance level, including obligations for registration, updating and access. The Anti‑Money Laundering Act (AMLA) will be extended to cover certain advisory and consultancy activities deemed at elevated risk of money laundering or terrorism financing.
