Nigerian Court Adjourns Case as Binance Executive Gambaryan Collapses During Trial | Forex and Crypto News
A Nigerian court has adjourned the trial of Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive, after he collapsed in the courtroom during the proceedings. Gambaryan, who is facing charges of money laundering, reportedly fainted as he entered the courtroom and had to be helped to the dock by his lawyers. Gambaryan's lawyer informed the court that his client suffers from a heart condition and requested an adjournment to allow him to receive medical attention. The court granted the request and adjourned the trial until a later date. Gambaryan's arrest and detention have been widely criticized by the crypto community, with many calling for his release. Binance has also denied any wrongdoing on Gambaryan's part and has expressed concern over his health and well-being. The adjournment of the trial is a setback for the prosecution, which has been trying to build a case against Gambaryan. However, it is unclear how Gambaryan's health issues will affect the outcome of the trial.
