Politically Exposed Persons: opensanctions.org

This data comes from OpenSanctions.org: A politically exposed person (PEP) is a person that has been entrusted with a prominent public function. PEPs include elected officials, members of government. Integrating data about political actors is an essential step in making an open source due diligence database. However, it is a much more intricate task than collecting sanctions lists (of which there are only a few dozen), and fully addressing it will be the focus of a later stage of this project. You can find the data here on more than 197,000 entities: https://www.opensanctions.org/datasets/peps/
