Two US lawmakers visited a Binance executive held in a Nigerian prison, describing his poor health and advocating for a humanitarian release despite the ongoing fraud trial against him. Tigran Gambaryan, head of financial-crime compliance at Binance, has been detained since February on charges including currency manipulation and money laundering. The Nigerian tax agency dropped tax fraud accusations against him, while the US lawmakers called for his safe return to the US. The case highlights the tension between Nigeria and Binance amid allegations and legal issues.
