Tigran Gambaryan, who has been held in Nigeria for eight months, is now free and on his way to the United States.

As announced on October 23, 2023 by the Nigerian justice system, the Binance executive was released in the last 24 hours. The court considered that its role in a laundering case involving Binance is minimal or non-existent. So she decided to release him.

There are still some shadows as to the role of US diplomacy in influencing this decision. Tigran requires medical care, his repatriation also meets health requirements.

This release does not suggest that the investigations against Binance are over, but it is an important page for the company. The binance boss spoke about the case “We are deeply relieved and grateful that Tigran Gambaryan was finally released after being held for nearly eight months in Nigeria.”
