The Federal Government has withdrawn the money laundering charges filed against the detained Binance Holdings Limited’s executive, Tigran Gambaryan, due to his ill health and diplomatic intervention.
Gambaryan was the second defendant in the charge preferred against the cryptocurrency platform (first defendant) by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The EFCC’s counsel, R. U. Adagba, on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, told the Federal High Court in Abuja of the federal government’s decision to withdraw the money laundering charges against the detained employee because of his deteriorating health.
