ChainCatcher news, Binance's head of financial crime compliance Tigran Gambaryan has been detained in Nigeria since February 2023, with the scheduled bail ruling postponed to October 9.

Gambaryan was initially charged with tax evasion and money laundering, but his family reported that his health has been deteriorating during detention. Gambaryan's lawyer has filed a bail motion, citing the prison's failure to properly address his health issues. As a U.S. citizen and former IRS agent, his detention has raised significant concerns, and over 5,400 people have signed a petition calling for his return to the United States. The Nigerian tax authorities revoked some charges in June, but the money laundering charges may still require him to appear in court.
