In order to review the information from Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Binance's attorney required further time.

The money laundering trial between Binance and Nigeria has been postponed to May 17, an executive's family representative informed CoinDesk.

In Kuje jail, Tigran Gambaryan is awaiting a bail hearing that is scheduled for May 17.

Binance A representative for the family of imprisoned executive Tigran Gambaryan announced on Thursday that the money laundering trial in Nigeria has been postponed until May 17.

The trial was originally set to start today, but it was postponed after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of Nigeria produced a document as proof that the attorneys for Binance had not seen.

He was entitled to inspect it, and the presiding judge granted Gambaryan more time to scrutinize the evidence, which is reportedly 300 pages long

Gambaryan, who is a U.S. citizen and Binance's head of financial compliance, was detained in Nigeria alongside British-Kenyan regional manager for Africa, Nadeem Anjarwalla, in February.

The company, alongside the executives, was given anti-money laundering charges as well as tax evasion charges from Nigerian authorities almost a month later. The EFCC brought forward the money laundering charges.

Anjarwalla has since escaped, and Nigerian authorities have been on the hunt for him.

Gambaryan is in Kuje prison while he awaits his bail hearing which is also set to occur on May 17 at the same time as the tax evasion trial.

The tax evasion trial was also pushed back in April because the exchange had not been formally served with charges..
