Binance compliance executive rushed to hospital after collapsing in Nigerian court; spouse condemns 'unjust detention'

Binance Financial Crime Compliance Director Tigran Gambaryan fainted during his trial on money laundering charges in a Nigerian court. Judge Emeka Nwite later agreed to send him to Nizayime Hospital in Abuja for treatment. Gambaryan’s wife Yuki condemned the unfair treatment by the Nigerian authorities. She said Gambaryan was asked to appear in court despite his serious condition and eventually fainted in court. Yuki said the conditions in Kuje Prison, where Gambaryan is currently being held, are so harsh that even the strongest people can’t stand it. Gambaryan has been detained since April 8 for his alleged involvement in a $35 million money laundering case. When the court opened on May 17, the judge denied him bail on the grounds that he was a flight risk.
