Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive and former IRS agent, has been detained in Nigeria for more than 40 days since late February on charges of tax evasion, fraud, and money laundering involving $35 million. After being held, his legal case has been adjourned until April 19, with a trial set for May. Gambaryan, who heads Binance's financial crime compliance unit, has pleaded not guilty to the charges and applied for bail. Despite Binance's defense stating the charges are meritless and calling for American government intervention, Gambaryan was transferred to an underground jail cell as the situation escalated. He was later moved to Kuje correctional facility, a decision Binance labeled as 'outrageous'. The executive's wife has publicly appealed for U.S. government assistance in securing his release.
