Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive currently held in Nigeria, has submitted a new bail request due to worsening health conditions.
The motion, filed on September 2, 2024, cites urgent medical needs, including surgery, as a reason for his release.
Gambaryan’s legal team argues that his health has significantly declined, a claim supported by health records that reveal the necessity for surgery.
However, Nigerian authorities have contested these claims, suggesting that Gambaryan’s health is not as dire as reported. They have also criticized the delay in producing his full medical documentation.
Family representatives have voiced frustration over the lack of transparency regarding Gambaryan’s health and his restricted access to legal counsel.
Gambaryan’s wife, Yuki, expressed her distress over the situation, emphasizing the delays in receiving critical medical information.
The controversy surrounding Gambaryan’s treatment has sparked criticism from various quarters, including industry leaders and U.S. lawmakers.
Congressman Rich McCormick has proposed a resolution to classify Gambaryan’s detention as a hostage situation, urging Congress to take action for his release.
The court will review the bail motion further on September 4, 2024, amid ongoing concerns about Gambaryan’s well-being.
