The family of Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive facing money laundering charges in Nigeria, has revealed that he is currently unable to walk due to severe pain from a herniated disc.

Gambaryan has been in detention for six months since the Nigerian government accused Binance and its executives, including Gambaryan and the currently at-large Nadeem Anjarwalla, of conspiring to hide the origins of illicit financial proceeds amounting to $35.4 million. 

The family alleged that Gambaryan has been denied adequate medical treatment while in custody.
