The Federal High Court in Abuja has summoned the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Head of the Legal Services Department to appear before it on Monday, September 2, with specific documents related to the money laundering case against Binance Holdings Limited and its executives.
The court has requested the CBN officials to produce a certified true copy of the excel spreadsheet titled “Export Exchange Rate Results” published on the CBN’s website from June 1 to August 16, 2024.
Binance USA’s Head of Financial Crime Compliance, Tigan Gambaryan, and the exchange’s British-Kenyan regional manager for Africa, Nadeem Anjarwalla, are facing money laundering charges to the tune of $35m brought against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The case was previously adjourned to October 11, but the defence counsel requested a date change, which the court granted, bringing the trial forward by a month.
