A Federal High Court in Abuja has discharged the executive of Binance Holdings Limited, Tigran Gambaryan, and his fleeing colleague, Nadeem Anjarwalla, from the alleged tax evasion charge preferred against the company by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
Justice Emeka Nwite, in a ruling, discharged and struck out Gambaryan and Anjarwalla’s names from the four-count charge after FIRS filed a fresh amended charge, following the appointment of Ayodele Omotilewa as Binace Nigerian representative.
The court adjourned to July 12th for plea and instructed both parties to submit written addresses on the issue of the representative’s presence in the dock.
This development comes amidst heightened scrutiny of cryptocurrency activities in Nigeria, with Binance facing separate prosecutions and accusations related to foreign exchange rates and money laundering.
