Gambaryan is also charged with helping customers use Binance’s platform to bypass tax obligations. He will stay under the supervision of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. The court has also delayed Binance’s session until April 8.
Another high-ranking official from <a href="https://crypto.news/binance-establishes-first-board-of-directors-yet-to-name-hq/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance</a>, Nadeem Anjarwalla, who was <a href="https://crypto.news/binance-requests-release-of-detained-employee-in-nigeria/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">detained</a> with Gambaryan, left Nigeria last month. Both men visited Nigeria in late February, following an invitation from Nigerian authorities to discuss cryptocurrency operations after the government targeted crypto exchanges to curb currency speculation.
Nigeria, the country with the largest population in Africa, has seen a surge in cryptocurrency adoption as the local currency sharply declined over the past year. The price increase then led to governmental restrictions on crypto exchanges.
