Gambaryan was arrested in February and charged with money laundering alongside fellow Binance exec Nadeem Anjarwalla. However, Anjarwalla fled the country in March, escaping from the guest house in which the pair were staying after being led to a mosque to pray.

Lawyers representing Gambaryan argue his health has deteriorated since being detained due to the negligent treatment of prison officers. Indeed, he was filmed last month begging for a wheelchair and claiming to be in pain while walking to a court hearing.

Despite this, state prosecutors say he shouldn’t be granted bail, that he has exaggerated his illnessand has refused medical treatment.

The US, however, has repeatedly signaled that Gambaryan should be released. A senior official at the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed they are attempting to gain consular access to the exec in order to check on his health.
