The remand order was given by the trial judge, Justice Emeka Nwite after Gambaryan pleaded not guilty to the money laundering charges preferred against him by Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday remanded a Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan, in Kuje Correctional Centre, pending the determination of his bail application.
The remand order was given by the trial judge, Justice Emeka Nwite after Gambaryan pleaded not guilty to the money laundering charges preferred against him by Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The judge subsequently adjourned the case till April 18 for a verdict on his bail application and May 2 for the start of the trial.
The Nigerian government had taken Binance Holdings Limited and its two officials, Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla (now at large) to court on allegations bordering on tax evasion and money laundering.
SaharaReporters had reported that Gambaryan’s colleague, Anjarwalla escaped from the custody of Nigerian authorities three weeks ago.
