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.

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).
