BBDHistorique régulateur (BaFin, DE)

BaFin + Bundeskartellamt enforcement against {legal_name} in last 5y. NEGATIVE-SIGNAL (higher = cleaner record). CRITICAL OUTPUT RULE: "no enforcement found" is a GOOD outcome (clean record), NOT missing data. If after searching bafin.de + bundeskartellamt.de you find NO action in 5y, return enumerated_events with events=[] → server scores 95. NEVER return type="absent". EXTRACTION RULES: Cite bafin.de (Maßnahmen) + bundeskartellamt.de (Entscheidungen). Each event needs URL + date + severity. CLEAN-RECORD REASONING (MANDATORY to publish the clean 95): when you return events=[], your reasoning text MUST explicitly state ALL THREE of: (a) the official regulator source(s) you searched, named by hostname (the regulator hostnames cited above); (b) the explicit time window searched, written as "last 5 years / 60 months"; (c) an explicit negation: "no enforcement action against this specific company was found in that window". A bare events=[] WITHOUT this three-part affirmation is treated as an INCOMPLETE search (not a verified clean record): the server bails it for retry and it will NOT score 95.
