Binance exec Tigran Gambaryan denied bail again in Nigerian court
Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan has been denied bail in Nigeria while facing money laundering charges, on the grounds that an appeal to his first bail denial is still pending. A Federal High Court in Abuja rejected Gambaryan’s bail application on Friday. Justice Emeka Nwite maintained that Gambaryan’s health has not deteriorated further since that first bail denial, and that he is receiving appropriate healthcare while in detainment. Since Gambaryan’s appeal remains open, his lawyer has no legal ground to request bail again. “On this leg alone, this bail application is bound to fail,” Nwite said (via Nairametrics). This is the second day in a row that Gambaryan was in court requesting bail. Yesterday, his court hearing was postponed due to Nwite blowing him off for a seminar at the National Judicial Institute.
