Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, is grappling with legal troubles as its executives gear up for court trials in Nigeria. Allegations of money laundering and tax infractions have cast a dark cloud over the company’s operations, drawing heightened scrutiny from regulators.

As the trial date for two pivotal figures from Binance, Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, draws near, attention shifts to the Abuja Federal High Court of Nigeria where proceedings are slated to begin on April 4. In an attempt to navigate the legal maze, Binance has issued a statement, shining a spotlight on Gambaryan’s background in law enforcement and his role within the company.
