- Binance Financial Crime Compliance Department aided Taiwan authorities in a case involving money laundering.
- The exchange provided key intelligence and assistance to the Investigation Bureau of Taiwan.
- BNB sustained above key support at $570 on Friday.
Binance’s Financial Crimes Compliance (FCC) department joined forces with Taiwan’s Ministry of Justice and helped resolve a case of money laundering worth NT$200 million, or $6.2 million. Binance, which has been accused in several jurisdictions of not providing enough oversight to fight money laundering, said it has previously worked with law enforcement agencies and aided criminal investigations.
The exchange published a press release detailing the investigation on Friday. The suspects were involved in money laundering through digital assets and falsified customer conversation records, remittance proofs and forged identity data.
Binance aids authorities in money laundering case
Binance’s FCC team offered their insights on crypto flows, set up an online meeting with investigators and prosecutors and helped identify suspects in a money laundering case, the exchange said.
In February, Binance shared a training session with the INTERPOL, bringing expertise in blockchain investigation to law enforcement officers. Earlier this month, the exchange collaborated with the Netherlands' Fiscal Information and Investigation Service to freeze millions of Euros linked to the ZKasino scam.
The exchange announced a launch of a series of law enforcement training programs and plans to cooperate with a dozen different units that include over a thousand personnel in Taiwan.
