🇳🇬 Nigeria takes Binance to court, claiming $79.5 billion in economic damages and a further $2 billion in back taxes for 2022 and 2023.
The authorities accuse Binance of tax evasion and money laundering.
Binance is not officially registered in Nigeria. But the country's Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) insists that the exchange has a "significant economic presence" in Nigeria and is therefore liable for corporate income tax.
