U.S. Congressmen Submit Resolution for Release of Binance Official Tigran Gambaryan

Two U.S. Congressmen, Rep. French Hill and Rep. Rich McCormick, have taken a stand to advocate for the release of Tigran Gambaryan, the Head of Financial Crime Compliance at Binance, who is currently detained in Nigeria on money laundering charges. The lawmakers have submitted a resolution to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs, urging the U.S. government to intervene in what they believe is an unjust detention of Gambaryan.

According to reports, Gambaryan’s health has been deteriorating while in custody, with his family expressing concerns about his well-being. Despite claims by Nigerian officials that Gambaryan is in good health, his family insists that he is suffering from various medical conditions and is in need of urgent medical care.

The resolution by the U.S. Congressmen comes after the Nigeria Federal Inland Revenue Service withdrew tax evasion charges against Gambaryan earlier in June 2024. However, the Nigerian authorities are still pursuing the case against Binance, with a trial scheduled to begin in October 2024.

Gambaryan’s wife has also joined the calls for her husband’s release, emphasizing the need for him to receive proper medical attention. The resolution by the U.S. lawmakers highlights the growing concern over the treatment of Gambaryan and the need for diplomatic intervention to secure his release.

As the case continues to unfold, the fate of Tigran Gambaryan remains uncertain, with both Nigerian and U.S. authorities at odds over his detention. The resolution submitted by Rep. French Hill and Rep. Rich McCormick underscores the importance of upholding the rights of individuals detained abroad and seeking justice for those wrongfully accused.
