Judge Emeka Nwite denied bail again, stating that prison conditions can address health needs.
Tigran Gambaryan's wife reported his declining health, warning of potential permanent damage.
A Nigerian court has adjourned the trial of Binance
executive Tigran Gambaryan, who is currently detained in Nigeria. The trial was
delayed today (Friday) after Gambaryan, a US citizen and Head of Financial Crime
Compliance at Binance, could not attend due to illness.
He has been held in Nigeria since February and faces charges
of laundering over $35 million, which both he and Binance deny.
Trial Postponed for Medical Treatment
Judge Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja
postponed the trial to October 25 to allow Gambaryan to receive medical
treatment.
Last week, Judge Nwite denied Gambaryan’s request for bail
for the second time, arguing that the prison could manage his health needs.
Gambaryan had sought release, citing his deteriorating health and the need for
surgery outside prison.
In response to the situation, Binance
has taken to social media to request his release, as reported by Finance Magnates. CEO Richard Teng
stated that Nigerian authorities requested a “secret” payment to resolve the
issues. Nigerian officials have denied these claims, calling them a diversion
from Binance’s activities.
In a separate development, Binance
has expanded its services in Africa, enabling users in Benin, Cameroon,
Ivory Coast, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Togo, and Senegal to purchase
cryptocurrency via mobile money payments through local partnerships.
Binance Halts Naira Transactions
In August, Yuki Gambaryan, his wife, reported that her
husband’s health had worsened significantly in detention, warning that his
condition could cause permanent damage, potentially affecting his mobility. She
has appealed for his release and vowed to continue advocating on his behalf.
Binance also faces separate tax evasion charges, which the
company denies. The exchange has halted transactions in Nigeria's currency, the
naira, following a government crackdown on crypto exchanges, which authorities
allege are linked to the black market for foreign currency.
