Nigerian tax authorities charged cryptocurrency, Binance, and two of its top executives with tax evasion, including one executive that escaped custody. Tax authorities allege that Binance has not filed tax returns, paid value added taxes, nor corporate tax. Furthermore, Binance is unregulated in Nigeria. Binance executives, Nadeem Anjarwalla and Tigran Gambaryan, flew into the country where they were detained and their passports were seized. Shortly after, on March 23rd, Anjarwalla escaped custody, using a “smuggled” passport. The National Security Advisor in Nigeria, said, “Security agencies are working with Interpol for an international arrest warrant on the suspect.”
