A detained Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan, slumped before the Federal High Court Abuja during a foreign exchange contravention and money laundering trial instituted against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
According to Nairametrics, his lawyer, Mark Mordi informed the court that Gambaryan had not felt too well since the last date of trial.
The trial, which began following the arrest of Gambaryan and Anjarwalla in February, has been contentious, with the executives accusing authorities of illegal detention and passport seizure.
Moreover, reports surfaced suggesting that the Nigerian government requested the names of citizens trading on the platform.
The court adjourned the money laundering trial until April 8, following a dispute between Gambaryan’s lawyer and the public prosecutor over representing Binance without the company’s permission.
The case was later adjourned again to May 17.
