BlockBeats News, April 8th, according to Reuters, a Nigerian court has postponed the trial date of the Binance tax case to April 30th. Binance's lawyer, Chukwuazom, requested the court to set aside the previous e-service order on the grounds that the tax authority sent legal documents to Binance, registered in the Cayman Islands, without court permission.
BlockBeats previously reported that on February 20th, Nigerian authorities filed a lawsuit against Binance, claiming $79.5 billion in economic damages and $2 billion in unpaid taxes. The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) of Nigeria accused Binance of operating illegally in the country. This lawsuit comes after FIRS's tax evasion charges against Binance in March 2024, involving four tax violations, including failure to pay corporate income tax and failure to file tax returns. Previously, Binance's two executives, Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, were arrested in Nigeria and named as defendants in the case.
