Nigeria Withdraws Tax Charges Against Binance Executives

As an analyst, I believe that the decision by Nigerian authorities to drop tax evasion charges against Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla of Binance is a step in the right direction. However, their ongoing involvement in a money-laundering investigation remains a cause for concern.


The Nigerian Federal Inland Revenue Service has dismissed tax evasion accusations against Binance‘s executives, Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla. However, they are still under scrutiny for a different money laundering probe.

Legal Proceedings Adjusted

After examining the positions held by Gambaryan and Anjarwalla in the Nigerian cryptocurrency exchange, the authorities have decided to remove them from the list of individuals under investigation for tax-related matters.

Instead of “Now, Binance itself will face these charges through its local representation,” you could say “Binance will be held accountable for these allegations via its local subsidiary. This shift in focus eases some legal pressure on individuals but keeps scrutiny on the company’s business operations.”

As a crypto investor following the news closely, I’ve learned that Gambaryan, who has been in custody, has faced serious health issues such as malaria and pneumonia. Fortunately, he won’t have to attend court proceedings related to the tax case due to these complications. However, it’s important to note that the money-laundering allegations against him are still under investigation. The concerning state of his health and detainment conditions has raised alarm, leading to calls for stronger government intervention on his behalf.

Ongoing Legal Concerns

As an analyst, I can tell you that the upcoming court sessions carry significant importance for both executives. Mark your calendars for June 19, when we’ll delve into the enforcement of fundamental rights. Right on its heels, we have the trial resumption scheduled for June 20. These proceedings hold weight not just for the legal fight but also for Gambaryan’s well-being, as he grapples with serious health issues while in custody.

The world keeps a keen eye on the developing situation with Binance, as legal concerns and human rights issues surrounding the detention of its executives pique international interest.
