Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume, Binance, is now a target of a Brazilian congressional committee that has recommended law enforcement actions against the executive and seeks to indict the billionaire entrepreneur over alleged fraudulent financial pyramid schemes in the South American country.

Un libro de 500 páginas reporte fue publicado por el comité brasileño el 10 de octubre, en el que el CEO de Binance, junto con los ejecutivos locales Daniel Mangabeira, Guilherme Haddad Nazar y Thiago Carvalho, fueron acusados de prácticas de gestión fraudulentas, operando sin autorización suficiente y ofreciendo transacciones de valores sin autorización.

The committee led by deputy Ricardo Silva claimed that Binance, Zhao, and others “set up an opaque network of legal entities, all controlled directly or indirectly by Zhao, without defined business purposes and with no other purpose than evading compliance with the law.” The committee also suggested the indictment of 45 other people, citing “strong evidence” of their alleged participation in criminal schemes.

Silva noted that Binance’s operations in several jurisdictions are being investigated, and in Brazil, the authorities believe that the exchange is “surrounded by suspicion.” The Congressional committee asked the Federal Public Ministry to launch an investigation into the crypto exchange and its executives. The focus of the investigation would be on tax evasion, money laundering, and the financing of organized crime and terrorism.

The committee also targeted the crypto exchange’s sale of derivatives products, asking the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) to launch an investigation into these products. It believes that despite being told to cease offering derivatives to the country’s citizens, Binance continued to offer them, which constituted a “repeated violation” of market regulations.

Es importante señalar que los documentos de 500 páginas del comité no son vinculantes para las autoridades policiales locales, sino que son meras sugerencias. Los reguladores regionales decidirán si iniciarán una investigación o se abstendrán de hacerlo. 

As reported earlier by Bitnation, Binance confirmed that it was helping Israel’s police freeze some crypto accounts vinculado al grupo Hamás. Las autoridades han incautado 190 cuentas vinculadas a Hamás en la principal bolsa desde 2021.
