from the custody of the office of the national security adviser , both executives, alongside Binance, are being charged by the federal government for tax evasion.in court on Thursday, Moses Ideh, prosecution counsel, said the team could not reach Gambaryan to serve a copy of the charge.“My lord, the prosecution has not been able to serve a copy of the charge on the second defendant ,” Ideh had said.
“As a result, we mobilised the court bailiff to serve the second defendant but he was denied access, too.”After serving the processes on the defendant, the prosecution prayed the court to either issue a stand down or adjourn the case to enable the defendant to confer with his lawyers.Emeka Nwite, the presiding judge, adjourned the matter to April 19 for the arraignment of the defendants.
“At no time did the court bailiff approach the EFCC to serve any of the Binance executives in its custody with a charge,” the statement reads.“At the last sitting of the court, counsel to the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, Moses Ideh, did not lodge such a complaint before the court. He only told the court that the service was yet to serve the defendants.
