Tigran Gambaryan’s Bail Hearing Postponed

Apr 24, 2024
It's worth recollecting that Gambaryan, along with Binance's regional manager Nadim Andzharvala, was apprehended on February 26 upon arrival in Nigeria's capital for meetings with the country's government following Binance's allegations of currency speculation.

Initially, Nigerian officials denied reports of the arrest of Binance executives, but a month later, they were charged with money laundering and tax evasion.

Tigran Gambaryan, Binance’s Head of Anti-Crime Department and a US citizen, is currently detained in Nigeria but denies any wrongdoing.

Nadim Andzharvala mysteriously escaped from prison. Consequently, Gambaryan was transferred to Kuje prison, where suspected members of the terrorist group “Boko Haram” are held.

According to Gambaryan’s family, US embassy staff visited him only once. They also assert that all allegations are fabricated and baseless.

The money laundering case against Gambaryan and Binance is scheduled for May 2. The tax evasion hearing is slated for May 17.
