Nigerian govt and INTERPOL commence extradition process for Binance chief Nadeem Anjarwalla

The Federal Government and the International Criminal Police Organisation have commenced extraditing a Binance chief, Nadeem Anjarwalla, who escaped detention in Nigeria on March 22.

Among other charges, the firm and the two executives were arraigned for $35,400,000 in money laundering at the Federal High Court, Abuja.On Tuesday, top government sources confirmed to The PUNCH that extraditing the fugitive had begun. Another source revealed, “It is true that the Federal Government has commenced the process of extraditing Binance’ Anjarwalla in order to bring him back to Nigeria to answer to his money laundering case in court, among others. The arraignment of Binance and Gambaryan in court on Thursday will also aid Anjarwalla’s extradition.”

Security agencies had arrested Anjarwalla and Tigran Gambaryan, two executives of the crypto-currency firm Binance Holdings Limited, over alleged money laundering in February. The sources noted that Anjarwalla’s absence would not affect the arraignment of Binance, Tigran and Gambaryan in court on Thursday over a five-count money laundering charge.
