Congressman Rich McCormick (R-GA) called on the US State Department on Wednesday to intervene in the release of Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan, who has been detained by Nigerian authorities since February of this year.

During the hearing, McCormick questioned Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell on why the US government has not yet secured Gambaryan’s freedom
Gambian, who traveled to Nigeria for crypto policy discussions, was detained and has since been charged with money laundering.
Rich McCormick noted that Gambaryan meets most of the conditions set forth in the Robert Levinson Hostage Rescue and Hostage Taking Accountability Act, but remains in prison.
“We very, very much want to resolve this, and it is a real concern,” Campbell responded, acknowledging ongoing diplomatic efforts.
