Federal government has withdrawn the money laundering charges filed against Tigran Gambaryan, an executive of Binance Holdings Limited.

EFCC counsel, R U Adaba announced federal government to withdraw the charges at the resumption of a hearing at federal high court in Abuja on Wednesday.

According to Adaba; Gambaryan is just a Binance employee and was not involved in the crime allegedly committed by the company.
