The Nigerian Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has accused the Nigerian Correctional Service of failing to present Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan at the Federal High Court in Abuja for his tax evasion case.
According to local media, Tigran Gambaryan, the detained Binance executive, failed to appear in court on May 22 for arraignment on tax evasion charges brought by the Federal Inland Revenue Service.
In court on Wednesday, prosecution counsel Moses Idehu expressed uncertainty about the detained executive’s absence, who was expected to be brought from custody. He revealed that attempts to contact the officials at the correctional center had been unsuccessful.
