Sign Up on MEXCBreaking: Brazil’s Committee Suggests Indicting Binance Officials
In a recent development from Brazil, a congressional committee has recommended indicting three high-ranking officials from Binance cryptocurrency exchange. These officials include CEO Changpeng Zhao, Brazil general director Guilherme Haddad Nazar, and Latin America institutional relations director Daniel Mangabeira.
Brazil Committee Alleges Binance Financial Misconduct
The thrust of the allegations centers around purported fraudulent management, unauthorized financial institution operations, and potentially committing a crime against Brazil’s national financial system. However, it’s paramount to note that this is merely a recommendation from the committee. The ball is now in the court of the Brazilian police to decide the next course of action. Moreover, the extensive 508-page report primarily investigates indicators of dubious operations in managing crypto-associated companies.
Binance has staunchly refuted these claims. In a statement, Binance emphasized its unwavering commitment to working closely with the commission. Additionally, they voiced their objection to what they term “baseless accusations” aimed at tarnishing their reputation. Significantly, Binance highlighted its robust global compliance program, underscoring its cooperation with global authorities to combat cyber crimes.
Challenges Mount for Binance
Besides the Binance executives, the probe has also flagged around 42 other individuals for potential indictment. Brazilian media outlet Valor Economico has reported that the Federal Police, Federal Revenue, and Federal Public Ministry are being urged to delve deeper into companies like Binance.
Despite being a global leader in the crypto market, Binance hasn’t been free from challenges. Most notably, the company has been ensuring compliance with changing global regulations. Consequently, Binance recently collaborated with Rebuildingsociety.com to adhere to the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority regulations on crypto marketing. However, this partnership hit a snag when the FCA imposed restrictions on the Rebuilding Society. Moreover, Binance took a strategic exit from Russia after striking a deal with CommEX but managed to resume operations in Belgium post a regulatory hiccup.
