French Investigators Probe Binance for Money Laundering, Tax Fraud, Drug Trafficking, and Terrorist Financing

French investigators have opened a judicial probe into cryptocurrency exchange Binance over allegations of money laundering, tax fraud, drug trafficking, terrorist financing, and other charges, according to Reuters.

This probe follows a previous inquiry in summer 2023 into the platform's alleged illegal activities. Binance spokespeople did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
