Seventy-Three
Coordinated inspections ordered by the country's public prosecutors' offices have identified 73 entities in breach of legislation on the Register of Beneficial Owners.
The operation, part of the "Action Days ECOFIN" 2026, deployed 50 members of the police force from four regions alongside magistrates from two public prosecutors' offices. Relevant ministries and administrations were also involved.
The breaches break down as follows:
- In 55 cases, annual accounts had not been published within the legal deadlines.
- In 22 cases, there was a problem with the establishment authorisation.
- In 23 cases, the information filed on the RBE was inaccurate or incomplete.
The RBE, or Register of Beneficial Owners, is a central database designed to increase transparency around corporate ownership. Companies are required to keep their entries accurate and up to date. The coordinated checks suggest that compliance remains uneven across the country.
Fifty officers, two prosecutors' offices, and seventy-three entities that could not get their paperwork in order.
