Binance Executive Denied Bail in Nigerian Money Laundering Case

Tigran Gambaryan remains in custody despite health concerns as his trial continues in Abuja.

  • Gambaryan, Binance's head of financial compliance, has been detained since February on charges of money laundering.
  • Nigerian judge Emeka Nwite ruled that the prison can manage Gambaryan's health needs despite his claims of deteriorating health.
  • The court denied bail, stating Gambaryan's health condition does not justify release unless it poses a threat to others.
  • Gambaryan's legal team argued he requires urgent medical treatment outside prison for multiple health issues, including a herniated disc.
  • Gambaryan's wife, Yuki, expressed disappointment and vowed to continue fighting for his release, asserting he was not a decision-maker at Binance.
