Odaily Planet Daily News: Binance has adopted a policy that routes most foreign law enforcement agency requests through the UAE and mutual legal assistance treaty processes, resulting in slower access to user data.
European investigators and US prosecutors stated that these changes have made it more difficult to track scammers, combat money laundering, and quickly freeze or seize assets. Binance will continue to directly respond to cases involving child sexual abuse, terrorism, or imminent threats to life.
Binance stated that it has not reduced cooperation with regulatory and law enforcement agencies and framed the new process as enhanced safeguards meeting the standards of regulated institutions. The company's compliance operations remain under ongoing scrutiny.
