The trial of Tigran Gambaryan, the detained executive of Binance Holdings Limited, has been stalled due to his absence from court.
The officer from the Correctional Center was present in court, and said he got in touch with his boss who said Gambaryan was very sick and that is why he could not be produced in court.
Justice Emeka Nwite had, on October 11, fixed Friday for the continuation of trial in the alleged money laundering charge preferred against Binance Ltd and its country representative, Gambaryan, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
At the day’s proceeding, all the counsel to the parties were present in court except the 2nd defendant, Gambaryan.
On inquiry from the judge, counsel for both parties said they were surprised why Gambaryan was not in court.
Gambaryan’s counsel prayed to the court for an adjournment to report on the state of his health.
Justice Emeka Nwite subsequently adjourned the matter to October 25 for a report about Gambaryan’s health.
