[Nigerian judge advances Binance money laundering case to September 2] According to Finance Magnates, a Nigerian judge will hear a money laundering case involving the crypto exchange Binance and its two executives next week. At the request of the defense, the hearing was held in advance. Prosecutors said the hearing, which was originally scheduled for October 11, is now scheduled for September 2. Binance is accused of laundering more than $35 million, and the charges also involve its two executives: Tigran Gambaryan, a U.S. citizen and Binance's head of financial crime compliance, and Nadeem Anjarwalla, Binance's African regional manager and British-Kenyan African regional manager. Both Binance and Gambaryan have denied the allegations. However, Anjarwalla fled Nigeria before the trial and was not detained. On the other hand, Gambaryan has been detained in Nigeria since February, and according to his wife Yuki Gambaryan, his health has deteriorated during detention.
