Troubled crypto lender Nexo reacts to reports on office raids in Bulgaria, arguing that the firm has enforced strict AML and KYC checks.
Troubled cryptocurrency lender Nexo is facing more pressure from regulators as its offices have been reportedly raided as part of an international investigation.
A group of prosecutors, investigators and foreign agents started searches of Nexo’s offices in the Bulgarian capital, the local news agency StandartThe operation was reportedly initiated a few months ago, targeting a large-scale financial criminal scheme allegedly involving money laundering and violations of international sanctions against Russia. Citing sources of the Bulgarian National Television, the report alleges Nexo’s involvement in the scheme.
The television also highlighted Nexo’s alleged ties with the government of Bulgaria, specifying that Nexo was co-founded by former parliament member Antoni Trenchev and Georgi Shulev, the son of former deputy prime minister Lydia Shuleva. Nexo was quick to react to the latest news, taking to Twitter to assure the public that the company has been compliant with global crypto regulations and has enforced strict Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer policies.“Unfortunately, with the recent regulatory crackdown on crypto, some regulators have recently adopted the kick first, ask questions later approach. In corrupt countries, it is bordering with racketeering, but that too shall pass,” Nexo wrote.
Over the years, we have turned down a lot of business because Nexo never makes compromises with regard to our very stringent anti-money laundering and know-your-customer policies. But we have always known that this is how you build a sustainable business. 1/
