A Nigerian court has adjourned the money laundering trial against Binance and two of its executives to June 20 due to the illness of one executive, Tigran Gambaryan. Gambaryan, Binance’s head of financial crimes compliance, faces tax evasion and money laundering charges.
His lawyer informed the court that Gambaryan was critically ill and needed extensive medical attention, receiving intravenous treatment for malaria after collapsing in court. Detained in February and moved to Kuje prison, Gambaryan turned 40 in prison last week. His British-Kenyan co-accused, Nadeem Anjarwalla, escaped but still faces charges. Gambaryan missed his arraignment for tax evasion charges on June 14, leading to the adjournment.
He was denied bail over concerns he might flee. His wife, Yuki Gambaryan, has called for his release, citing his severe health issues and the harsh conditions in Kuje prison. She described the situation as an inhumane effort to target Binance through punitive measures against her husband.
