Tigran Gambaryan, Binance’s head of financial crime compliance and a former IRS agent, could not attend a Nigerian court hearing on Friday due to his poor health. As a result, the executive’s trial has been postponed to next Friday.

Binance and Gambaryan were both charged by Nigerian authorities with tax evasion and money laundering back in February, although the former charge was later dropped against the executive.

Since then, Gambaryan has been held in custody as his health has deteriorated due to a lack of medical attention, his family said. On Friday, he was set to face the next in a series of hearings for the trial led by Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFFC).

However, due to his health continuing to worsen, Gambaryan was unable to attend the hearing.
