French Hill, the Vice Chairman of the Financial Services Committee of the United States House of Representatives, is leading the effort to repatriate Binance compliance officer Tigran Gambaryan, who is detained in Nigeria. Tigran Gambaryan, an American citizen and former special agent of the US Internal Revenue Service, was detained in Nigeria for nearly four months on "fabricated" charges of money laundering and tax evasion after flying to Nigeria in February to meet with government officials on behalf of Binance. French Hill said he plans to call on Roger Carstens, the US State Department's Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs, in the coming days to seek his opinion on the Gambaryan case. "Tigran Gambaryan is a pawn in Nigeria's political struggle. He needs to be brought back to his home country, the United States, before Binance can continue to communicate with Nigeria," French Hill said.
