The Nigerian government dropped charges against a Binance Holdings Ltd. executive standing trial on allegations of money laundering and currency manipulation, who had been detained in the country since February.
The case against Tigran Gambaryan, head of financial crime compliance at Binance, was discontinued on the grounds of his ill health, according to people familiar with the court’s decision.
