Yesterday, Chrissy Houlahan and I visited with US citizen Tigran Gambaryan in Kuje Prison in Nigeria. We found him suffering from the conditions there, as he has malaria and double pneumonia, and he reports that he has lost significant weight. Even worse, he's being denied access to adequate medical attention. Although I am pleased that Nigeria dropped tax evasion charges against Tigran on 6/14, it's my view that he's being wrongfully detained on charges related to money laundering. Tigran has devoted his professional life to fighting money laundering and tax evasion, having spent ten years as an IRS Special Agent where he successfully led cyber and financial crime investigations. Further, at the time of his arrest, he was working as a contract employee at Binance and was instrumental in criminal investigations and compliance in cooperation with Nigerian authorities. On 6/4, I joined a letter with@RepMcCormick and 16 other colleagues to President Donald J. Trump, Secretary Antony Blinken, and Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs urging for Tigran's immediate release. Two days later, over 100 former federal prosecutors and agents wrote to Secretary Antony Blinken further urging Department of State to use all means available to secure his release. Tigran must be immediately granted a humanitarian release, the remaining charges dropped, and he must return home to America where he belongs.
