The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has failed to arraign Binance Ltd, Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla before the Federal High Court, Abuja in its suit marked FHC/ABJ/CR/138/2024.
Their planned arraignment on Thursday was stalled following a strong objection from Gambaryan’s legal team which insisted that he is not an agent of Binance.
Today, April 4, 2024, was scheduled by the court for the trio to take their plea in separate suits filed by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and the EFCC.
The EFCC accused the defendants of money laundering and foreign exchange contravention to the tune of $35,400, 000.
In the charge sheet seen by Nairametrics, the EFCC alleged they concealed the origin of a cumulative sum of $35,400, 000 generated as revenue by BINANCE in Nigeria knowing that the funds constituted proceeds of unlawful activity.
