At the previous court sitting, the presiding judge, Justice Emeka Nwite, adjourned the matter to October 11, but the defence counsel had approached the court for a date change, which the court granted by bringing the trial forward a month early.
Binance USA’s Head of Financial Crime Compliance, Tigan Gambaryan, and the exchange’s British-Kenyan regional manager for Africa, Nadeem Anjarwalla, are facing money laundering charges to the tune of thirty five million dollars brought against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Gambaryan and Anjarwalla were initially both detained in the custody of the Office of the National Security Adviser.
Anjarwalla, however, fled lawful custody on March 22, 2024, while his counterpart, Gambaryan, was moved from ONSA custody to EFCC custody and afterwards to Kuje Correctional Facility, where he is currently detained.
In the document, the court asked the apex bank’s heads to appear before it or delegate someone to do so.
