Charges of tax crimes previously brought against senior Binance executives were withdrawn by Nigerian authorities.

On Friday, June 14, the tax department withdrew its charges against the head of Binance's financial crime unit, Tigran Gambaryan, and Binance's regional head for Africa, Nadeem Anjarwalla.

The relevant information was provided by a lawyer for senior Binance managers, who were accused by the authorities of one of the African countries of committing tax fraud and currency manipulation amounting to over $34 million, in an email to CoinDesk.

In June of this year, a group of American legislators brought charges against the Nigerian authorities for the illegal detention of American citizen Gambaryan. The deputies sent an appeal to US President Joe Biden with a request to intervene in the situation and facilitate the release of the cryptocurrency exchange employee.
