The Public Area of DATACROS is a dashboard environment that includes selected results of the analysis of ownership anomalies in 29 European countries, conducted by Transcrime. For full details on the analysis, please see the final report of project DATACROS (available from April 2021).

The Public Area is freely and publicly accessible here.

The dashboard includes interactive maps, charts and statistics on European businesses, namely

  • Anomalous complexity of ownership structures;
  • Links with blacklisted jurisdictions;
  • Links with opaque corporate vehicles;
  • Links with Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) .

The results of the analysis highlight that:

  • On average, 1% of limited companies in Europe have ownership links with high-risk countries;
  • On average, 1.2% of limited companies in Europe are controlled by a trust, a fiduciary or another legal arrangement that
    does not allow to identify Beneficial Owners (BOs);
