Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive and former IRS investigator, has been released by Nigerian authorities after charges of money laundering and tax evasion were dropped. He was detained in February and faced deteriorating health conditions, including pneumonia and a herniated disc, during his eight-month incarceration. The Nigerian court's decision to release him was influenced by his health needs and international diplomatic pressure, particularly from the US government. Gambaryan's colleague, Nadeem Anjarwalla, escaped custody and returned to Kenya, while the tax evasion case against Binance continues. Gambaryan's release is a relief to his family, who have expressed concerns about his health during detention. Despite his release, he remains in Nigeria pending further arrangements for his departure.
