Guidelines on the concept of politically exposed persons

DOC-2019-17 describes the special regulatory due diligence measures for persons exposed to particular risks because of the political, jurisdictional or administrative functions performed by them or those closely associated with them. These guidelines are an update to the provisions transposing the Fourth Directive, which expanded the list of political, jurisdictional and administrative functions covered to include leaders of political parties and broadened the scope of the obligations to individuals performing these functions in France (national PEPs).
