Detained in Nigeria for more than six months and with reported health problems, Tigran Gambaryan awaits a judge’s decision following another bail application.
Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive detained in Nigeria since February, may not be eligible to post bail until October after another deferment in his case.
According to a statement shared by a family spokesperson on Sept. 4, the ruling on Gambaryan’s bail application has been adjourned to Oct. 9. Gambaryan, Binance’s head of financial crime compliance, was taken into custody by Nigeria authorities in February and initially charged with tax evasion and money laundering.
Family members, including his wife Yuki, have reported that Gambaryan’s health has been deteriorating while in Nigerian custody. After a Sept. 2 court appearance, a video emerged through social media channels showing the Binance executive struggling to walk to the courtroom and receiving no assistance from guards.
