The DOJ Launches an Investigation into Binance for Sanctions Violations

1X 1

Binance is being investigated by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) for possible violations of Russian sanctions. The national security and crime divisions of the DOJ are conducting investigations into the matter, focusing on Binance’s provision of services to Russian clients. 

Although no accusations have been made yet, Binance is already facing several investigations in the US related to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) violations. The exchange restricted its services to Russia after sanctions were imposed, but it continued to operate in the region. Binance claims that it was fully compliant with both US and international sanctions and its KYC protocols were in line with traditional banking.
