The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against cryptocurrency exchange platform Binance Holdings Limited and two of its senior executives, Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, totaling $35,400,000 in money laundering allegations.
The EFCC, taking over the case from the Office of the National Security Adviser, has detained Gambaryan and issued a court warrant for the arrest and extradition of Anjarwalla, who has fled.
Collaborating with international law enforcement agencies, including Interpol, the FBI, the UK government, and the Kenyan government, the EFCC aims to locate and extradite Anjarwalla.
The charges, filed before the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Abuja division, allege various counts of financial irregularities against Binance and its executives. These include engaging in financial activities without a valid license, unlawful negotiation of foreign exchange rates, and conspiracy to conceal the origin of proceeds from unlawful activities.
In response to these charges, Tigran Gambaryan has initiated legal action against the NSA and the EFCC, alleging violations of his fundamental rights. Meanwhile, Nadeem Anjarwalla, who escaped custody, has also filed a separate suit asserting his rights.
This development follows the Federal Government's efforts to apprehend Anjarwalla, who fled custody, and the ongoing legal battles between the executives and Nigerian authorities.
