Binance is directing foreign law enforcement requests through the United Arab Emirates' mutual legal assistance treaty process, according to a report from The Information citing an internal company memo.
The shift adds a government-to-government layer for overseas investigators. Instead of approaching the exchange directly, they would need to submit requests through their own government, which then works with the UAE under the treaty.
An MLAT is a bilateral agreement that sets out how two countries exchange evidence and cooperate on criminal investigations. The reported policy applies specifically to law enforcement agencies outside the UAE, not to all user-data requests Binance receives globally.
