Spearheaded by Michael McCaul, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, this plea underscores the gravity of Gambaryan’s health and legal predicaments as he faces charges of money laundering and tax evasion.Detainment and Deteriorating HealthTigran Gambaryan, who has <a href="https://cryptotale.org/what-happened-to-binance-executives-detained-in-nigeria/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">served</a> as Binance’s head of financial crime compliance, was detained three months ago following a series of meetings with Nigerian authorities that soured. Reports indicate that since his detainment, Gambaryan has been subjected to harsh conditions in Nigeria’s notorious Kuje Prison, intended to house high-risk offenders such as ISIS combatants. Recently, his health has sharply <a href="https://cryptotale.org/binance-executive-collapses-during-nigerian-money-laundering-trial/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">declined</a>, with confirmed cases of malaria exacerbating his situation. Despite a court order mandating medical treatment at a private hospital, Nigerian prison authorities have reportedly not complied fully, prompting concerns from U.S. officials and Gambaryan’s family.Congressional Letter Highlights UrgencyThe congressional letter addressed to President Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens, details the severe conditions under which Gambaryan is being held and the inadequate medical care he has received. The lawmakers’ letter categorically states the need for swift action, “We fear for his life. Immediate action is essential to ensure his safety and preserve his life. We must act swiftly before it is too late.” <a href="https://cryptotale.org/congress-urges-president-to-secure-release-of-detained-binance-executive-in-nigeria/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read more on CryptoTale.</a>Visit the links for more information <a href="https://cryptotale.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/cryptotalemedia" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://t.me/cryptotale_news" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram </a>| <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cryptotalenews/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram </a>|
