Interpol Completes Extradition Paperwork for Binance Executive Amid Money Laundering Charges

Nigerian Central Bureau of Interpol has confirmed completion of extradition paperwork for Binance Holdings executive Nadeem Anjarwalla, who fled jurisdiction amid charges of money laundering and tax evasion. Anjarwalla, detained in Nigeria along with colleague Tigran Gambaryan, escaped custody on March 22 and reportedly fled to Kenya. Interpol is actively working with governments to serve a Red Notice against Anjarwalla and present necessary treaties for his extradition to Nigeria. While Anjarwalla fled, Gambaryan pleaded not guilty to charges. Binance had previously announced cessation of Nigerian naira transactions.
