Nigeria teams with Interpol to return missing Binance exec

Extradition of Nadeem Anjarwalla has reportedly begun with the Binance exec facing charges of laundering $35 million.

Binance exec accused of tax evasion flees Nigeria during mosque visit

Nadeem Anjarwalla was detained with fellow Binance exec Tigran Gambaryan late last month after Nigeria banned a number of crypto exchanges.

Nigeria hasn’t charged the Binance execs but its central bank governor went on TV to blame exchanges for facilitating flows of criminal funds.

Nigerian official Bayo Onanuga said a $10B fine may be imposed but nothing’s been finalized. Binance says it’s heard nothing about the demand.
