Binance has confirmed, through a statement from its representative Richard Teng, that the exchange cooperates with law enforcement agencies around the world under lawful, structured processes — a message that lands just days after a Reuters investigation revealed the company had handed Russian investigators identity and transaction records tied to a terrorism financing case involving cryptocurrency donations to Ukraine. The timing puts fresh scrutiny on how Binance handles a law enforcement request from governments whose legal systems and human rights records differ sharply from one another.
Key takeaways
Reuters reported that Binance gave Russian investigators identity documents and transaction records tied to Yuri Belenkiy, a 49-year-old IT specialist accused of sending more than $700 in crypto to Ukraine-linked groups.
Belenkiy remains detained in Russia awaiting trial on terrorism financing charges built partly on the Binance data.
