Binance Executive’s Life at Risk: Law Firm Raises Urgent Concerns
In a shocking turn of events, Aluko & Oyebode, the legal representatives of Binance Holdings Limited, have unveiled distressing revelations regarding the health of Tigran Gambaryan, a prominent executive of the cryptocurrency giant embroiled in a trial in Nigeria.
The law firm’s urgent plea, articulated in a letter dated May 23 and addressed to the Deputy Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court (FHC), paints a grim picture. Gambaryan, renowned for his pivotal role as the head of financial crimes compliance at Binance, reportedly suffered a severe breakdown while incarcerated on May 22, necessitating immediate medical intervention for malaria.
Alarmed by the deteriorating health condition of Gambaryan, Aluko & Oyebode urgently implored authorities to facilitate his transfer to Nizayime Hospital in Abuja for urgent medical attention. However, their plea encountered obstacles following Justice Emeka Nwite’s recent denial of Gambaryan’s bail application, citing substantial concerns over the risk of flight.
Tensions escalated dramatically when Gambaryan collapsed in open court during a trial continuation, sending shockwaves throughout the legal community. This sensational development has propelled the trial into the spotlight, sparking fervent appeals for swift intervention to avert a potential catastrophe. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
