Over 100 former US prosecutors and federal agents have urged the US Department of State to secure the release of Tigran Gambaryan, Binance's head of financial crimes and compliance, detained in Nigeria.
In a June 6 letter to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, they criticised the US government's insufficient response and highlighted Gambaryan's exemplary service with the IRS.
Gambaryan, along with another Binance executive, was detained on charges of tax evasion and money laundering after being invited by Nigerian authorities for compliance discussions.
Despite denying the charges, Gambaryan remains in custody, with the coalition emphasising his innocence and calling for immediate action.
