A situation in which they have been for six months without everyone being able to recover their funds.
The confiscation of cryptocurrencies that Binance made to several users in Colombia.
As an advisor to some of those affected, Paula Bermúdez told us that in principle what they have done with their team is to understand the origin of the situation. That is, what led the Dutch police which is known as FIOD Netherlands Tax Information and Investigation Service to initiate an investigation for alleged money laundering under its laws.
Identified that the investigation ordered an injunction for Binance consisting of the seizure of certain cryptocurrency wallets. This due to its high suspicion of being linked to a money laundering process.
With this they realized that Binance did not make the blocks by its own decision, but under the framework of a court order that it is obliged to abide by.
Binance users must show the legality of the origin of their cryptocurrencies
Lawyer Paula Bermúdez said that those affected who have consulted her have been guided to, under the principle of presumption of innocence, become part of the process and prove the legality of the origin of their cryptocurrencies in Binance.
He clarified that the case of each user is particular because he has to go in to prove the legality of the funds he had in his wallet. And, furthermore, prove that he has no ties to those who are involved in the possible punishable conduct of money laundering.
