Binance Executive’s Nigerian Court Hearing Adjourned to October

A Binance Holdings Ltd. executive spent several hours back in a Nigerian court on Tuesday, before a judge adjourned the hearing until October.

Tigran Gambaryan, the head of financial-crime compliance at Binance whom US lawmakers say has been unjustly detained, is standing trial on charges including currency manipulation and money laundering.
