One obscured holding, no notarial contract.

gateForeignDirectInvestment forensically seals that an investment in critical infrastructure passes four clusters, sector classification, UBO chain resolution, sanctions & national security, and NIS2 CRITIS operator status, before ownership is transferred. Support for notaries and authorities, never a replacement for a regulator's own recognition as evidence.

In one sentence: gateForeignDirectInvestment resolves the ownership chain up to ten levels deep and blocks the notarial deed as soon as a sanctioned state actor or an obscured holding surfaces.

✓ RELEVANT IF...

You sell critical infrastructure (ports, power grids, 5G) to foreign investors
You need to prove the UBO chain and sanctions freedom before the notarial deed

✕ NOT RELEVANT IF...

You expect the BMWK to automatically recognise the result as investment-screening clearance
No critical infrastructure or security-relevant sector is involved

// The problem

The sell-off of critical infrastructure is a matter of national security.

The sale of ports, power grids, or 5G networks to foreign investors directly affects national security. gateForeignDirectInvestment enforces the complete forensic resolution of the ultimate beneficial owner chain before the notarial contract is executed.

// Architecture

Four clusters, checked sequentially.

Every cluster is dispositive (material_block_mode: true), a hit blocks bindingly, not merely for documentation. That is the default at this systemic bottleneck.

CLUSTER 1

Sector Classification

Checks CRITIS sector membership and the participation threshold (CRITIS 10%, sensitive 20%, standard 25%), the BMWK notification duty, and blocks acquisitions above 50% without clearance.

kritis_sector_flag · participation_threshold_pct · bmwk_notified

CLUSTER 2

UBO Chain Resolution

Resolves the ownership chain up to ten levels deep, cross-checks against the transparency register, and detects obfuscation as well as state-actor/SOE flags.

ubo_chain_depth · transparency_register_match · obfuscation_detected

CLUSTER 3

Sanctions & National Security

Screens against EU/US sanctions lists, Common Position 2008/944/CFSP, and the BMWK prohibition list.

CLUSTER 4

NIS2 CRITIS Operator Status

Checks BSI CRITIS registration and certification of BSI minimum standards under the NIS2 Directive and the BSI CRITIS Ordinance.

// Clarification

What gateForeignDirectInvestment is not.

Not automatic recognition by the BMWK or an investment-screening authority. The gate delivers a cryptographic proof, not regulatory clearance.
Not an independent transparency register. The gate checks against integrated registers, it does not operate its own register.

One obscured holding, no notarial contract.

The sell-off of critical infrastructure is a matter of national security.

Four clusters, checked sequentially.

Two tested scenarios.

What gateForeignDirectInvestment is not.

For notaries and authorities that want to make critical-infrastructure investment screening provable.
