Tinubu Government has arraigned Binance Executive for tax evasion.
Newsone Nigeria reports that Binance Head of Financial Crime Compliance, Tigran Gambaryan, has arrived at the Federal High Court in Abuja for arraignment over allegations of tax evasion.
The Binance Head of Financial Crime Compliance and fleeing Nadeem Anjarwalla are expected to be arraigned today at the court.
In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CR/115/2024, Binance was accused of failing to register with the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, for the purpose of paying all relevant taxes administered by the service.
Newsone recalls that the Nigerian authorities detained Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, Binance’s Regional Manager for Africa on February 28, 2024.
Although Anjarwalla has escaped from the custody of the Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA, both executives, alongside Binance, are expected to be charged in court by the Federal Government for tax evasion and money laundering on Thursday.
Gambaryan wearing a black T-shirt and green pants, was brought into the court at about 9:19 am by officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
