Nigeria postpones the money laundering trial of Binance executives to July 5

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Nigeria's money laundering trial against Binance and its two executives has been postponed to July 5 after the cross-examination of the first SEC witness. Binance's crime compliance officer Tigran Gambaryan's health has deteriorated during detention, and his family stated that despite multiple court orders, the prison has not provided his medical records from his only hospital visit.

Gambaryan has been held in Nigeria's most populous Kuje prison since February, alongside members of the terrorist organization Boko Haram. Another accused executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, has escaped. Gambaryan's family reported that he has developed double pneumonia and malaria during his detention, with worsening health conditions and symptoms of foot numbness and back pain. U.S. lawmakers recently visited Gambaryan and urged the U.S. to take further action. Binance declined to comment.
