Ailing Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan pleaded with a Nigerian judge on Monday to allow him to undergo back surgery because he suffers from a herniated disc, CoinVoice has learned.
“I have been complaining about this problem but it has never been resolved,” Gambaryan, 40, said as his money laundering trial continued in the Nigerian capital, Abuja.
“Due to lack of proper treatment, I have sustained permanent nerve damage and that is the reason for my current condition where I cannot walk,” added Gambaryan, who limped into the courtroom after being denied the use of a wheelchair.
Gambaryan has denied the prosecution's allegations since being incarcerated in a prison near Abuja in April, but has been suffering from pneumonia and malaria. [Original link]
