As a estate agent, Stonebridge ApS is subject to section \u00a7 1, st. 1, nr. 16 of the Money Laundering Act:<\/span><\/p>

\u201cEstate agents and estate agency firms, including when they act as intermediaries in connection with the letting of property.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The Danish Money Laundering Act implements the EU\u2019s 4th and 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directives of 2015, in line with a number of international recommendations. <\/span><\/p>

The Money Laundering Act defines money laundering as:<\/b><\/p>

Unlawfully receiving or obtaining, for oneself or others, a share of financial gains derived from a criminal offence<\/span><\/p>

Unlawfully concealing, possessing, transporting, assisting in the disposal of, or otherwise subsequently aiding in securing the financial proceeds or assets derived from a criminal offence<\/span><\/p>

Attempting or aiding and abetting such acts<\/span><\/p>

Duty to investigate and report<\/b><\/p>

\u00a7 25 of the Act stipulates that businesses covered by the Act must investigate the background and purpose of all complex and unusually large transactions, as well as all unusual transaction patterns and activities that do not have a clear economic or demonstrably lawful purpose, with a view to determining whether there is suspicion or reasonable grounds to suspect that these are or have been linked to money laundering or terrorist financing. The Money Laundering Act prohibits all business operators not covered by the Act from accepting cash payments of DKK 50,000 or more, whether the payment is made in a single instalment or as several payments that appear to be linked. <\/span><\/p>

Identitetsoplysninger<\/strong><\/p>

Stonebridge ApS is required, under the Money Laundering Act, to obtain identification details of natural and\/or legal persons when entering into all new customer relationships. As part of the customer due diligence procedure, all customers must be identified and their identity verified on the basis of documents obtained from reliable and independent sources. <\/span><\/p>

For natural persons, identity details comprising the person\u2019s name and National Insurance number (or another identification number if the customer does not have a National Insurance number) are collected. If the person in question does not have a National Insurance number or similar, the identity details must include their date of birth. As a general rule, it is the customer who must provide the identification details. <\/span><\/p>

For legal entities, identity details comprising the CVR number are obtained, and these details are verified against identification documents or via the CVR register. The ownership structure must also be clarified, and the company\u2019s beneficial owners must be identified using their CPR numbers, which we are required to retain for five years. <\/span><\/p>
