Binance CEO calls for U.S. intervention in Gambaryan case
After being detained in Nigeria for over six months, Binance CEO Richard Teng appealed to U.S. authorities to intervene diplomatically for the release of Tigran Gambaryan. Teng emphasized that Gambaryan, despite being a Binance executive, lacked decision-making power within the company and should not be held responsible for the firm’s actions.
Gambaryan’s Legal Battle and Health Concerns
The trial of Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan faced challenges in Abuja, Nigeria, where prosecutors contested his bail request and downplayed his health issues. Despite facing various health conditions such as pneumonia and needing surgery, Gambaryan’s lawyers pushed for his release for medical care. Nigerian prosecutors, however, dismissed these claims and accused Gambaryan of rejecting treatment.
Gambaryan’s Wife Expresses Concerns
Gambaryan’s wife, Yuki, expressed worries about the long-term effects of his imprisonment and the lack of proper medical attention. Nigerian authorities have been withholding his medical records, despite indications of the need for surgery. Yuki Gambaryan criticized the inhumane treatment and disregard for human rights in her husband’s case.
