Nigerian judge adjourns Binance money laundering trial to October

ABUJA (Reuters) - A Nigerian court on Tuesday adjourned a money laundering trial against cryptocurrency exchange Binance and two of its executives to Oct. 11, after the court's annual holiday that starts next week. 

Binance and executives Tigran Gambaryan, a U.S. citizen and head of financial crimes compliance, and British-Kenyan national Nadeem Anjarwalla, a regional manager for Africa, have been charged with laundering more than $35 million and engaging in specialised financial activities without a licence. 

The exchange also faces a separate four counts of tax evasion. They have all pleaded not guilty to the all the charges.

Gambaryan appeared in court in a wheelchair on Tuesday. His case has been stalled since May because he was not well enough to stand trial. Binance has previously said Gambaryan had malaria and pneumonia.
