Colombians Take Legal Action Against Binance for Blocking Their Funds

An account blockade that happened more than five months ago due to money laundering issues has prompted some Colombian users of Binance to commence legal action against the exchange in the country. According to reports the funds blocked exceed $1 million, and after an investigation from the FIOD, the Netherlands’ anti-money laundering watchdog, the funds were linked to financial crimes.

Binance Account Blockage Prompts Legal Action in Colombia

Binance is facing legal issues in ڪولمبيا شهرين جي هڪ گروهه جي اڪائونٽن کي بلاڪ ڪرڻ کان پوءِ جن جون سرگرميون مبينا طور تي FIOD کان مني لانڊرنگ جي تحقيقات سان ڳنڍيل هيون، هالينڊ جي مالي انٽيليجنس ۽ تحقيقاتي سروس. جي مطابق رپورٽ, انهن اڪائونٽن ۾ بلاڪ ڪيل cryptocurrency جي قيمت 1 ملين ڊالر کان وڌيڪ آهي، صارفين پنج مهينا اڳ کان فنڊ منتقل ڪرڻ جي قابل نه رهيا آهن.

ڪجهه صارفين نوٽ ڪيو ته اهي فنڊ جي ضبطي جو شڪار ٿيا آهن، جهڙوڪ جيرو ويلز، جن چيو:

I have been blocked since September 29, 2021. I already have five months without access to my funds. In my wallet they stole what I had and, according to Binance officials, the funds are held by the Dutch FIOD.

جيرو انهن صارفين مان هڪ آهي جيڪو اڳ ۾ ئي پليٽ فارم جي خلاف قانوني ڪارروائي ڪرڻ شروع ڪري چڪو آهي، هن جي وڪيل سان فنڊ جاري ڪرڻ جي ضرورت آهي. سندس بيانن موجب، اهي گهرجون ايڪسچينج جي تعميل آفيس ڏانهن موڪليا ويا، ۽ اڃا تائين جواب نه ڏنو ويو آهي.

ٻيا ڪولمبيا پڻ متاثر ٿيا

But Velez was not the only one affected by the measures taken by Binance. Andrea Torrente, another Colombian user, suffered the same fate, with her funds being held in the same way. Binance informed Torrente that her funds were being held as the result of an investigation by Dutch authorities, with the support of a Dutch prosecutor.

Torrente has also started to take legal action against the exchange, notifying the local representative of Binance in Colombia without receiving any answer yet. Users are complaining about the lack of response from the exchange, with Torrente stating:

You ask them to give you the freezing order issued by the FIOD and they tell you to write to an email from the Dutch police. Almost six months ago we received the same response from Binance. They close our chats. They basically wash their hands.

هن ماپ کان متاثر ٿيل گراهڪن جو ڪو سرڪاري انگ ناهي، پر ڪجهه ماڻهن هڪ ٽيليگرام گروپ ٺاهيو آهي ته جيئن مسئلي جي آگاهي پيدا ڪري ۽ مٽاسٽا جي خلاف ڪارناما کي همراه ڪري.
