The money laundering charges filed against Tigran Gambaryan, an executive of Binance Holdings Limited by the federal government has been withdrawn.

The withdrawal of the charges was announced today, Wednesday, October 23, 2024 at the Federal High Court in Abuja by a legal representative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
