The ongoing legal struggle between Binance and Nigerian authorities has experienced a significant development. The court handling the money laundering case against the cryptocurrency exchange and its two executives has advanced the hearing date.
Initially scheduled for October 11, 2024, the new date is set for September 2, 2024. This rapid rescheduling adds urgency to an already tense situation.
The case originated in February 2024, when Nigerian authorities apprehended two Binance executives, Tigran Gambaryan and another unnamed individual. The fast-tracked trial adds more layers of complexity to the ordeal faced by the leading cryptocurrency exchange.
