Odaily Planet Daily News: The Abuja High Court in the Nigerian capital will rule on Binance's tax evasion case on October 11, 2024. According to it, Binance faces four charges of tax evasion, including failure to register for tax with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) of Nigeria. According to local media reports, Binance's lawyer Ayodele Omotilewa appeared in court on Friday, July 12, and pleaded not guilty to all four charges before Judge Emeka Nwite. Omotilewa urged the judge to dismiss the charges, arguing that the case lacked substance, similar to the previous dismissal of charges against Binance executives Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla. Judge Nwite decided to adjourn the case until October for further deliberation and review of the evidence presented. This gives the defense and prosecution more time to prepare their respective cases. (Cointelegraph)
