 Military judge suppresses Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s FBI confession in 9/11 case A military judge has excluded a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave to FBI agents nearly 20 years ago, ruling that the statements were not made voluntarily. The decision is a setback for the U.S. government's long-running effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of helping develop the plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Mohammed remains detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, alongside other defendants awaiting trial. Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, the judge overseeing the case, scheduled a June 2028 trial for Mohammed and three other defendants earlier this week.

 FG Drops All Charges Against Binance Executive Gambaryan


The Federal government has dropped all charges against an executive at Binance Holdings, Tigran Gambaryan on health grounds.


Gambaryan has been facing money laundering trial from detention since April.


A Counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), announced the withdrawal of the charges at the Federal High Court Abuja, before Justice Emeka Nwite.


The hearing is coming two days before the 25 October earlier scheduled as the return date by the trial judge in the open court last Friday.


Announcing the withdrawal of the charges, the EFCC lawyer said Mr Gambaryan, a United States citizen, was merely an employee of Binance, whose activities he was being prosecuted for.


Counsel to Gambaryan, Mark Mordi, agreed with the prosecution, saying that his client was not involved in the company’s broader financial decisions.


The trial judge, Justice Emeka Nwite, had rejected his second bail application on 11 October, ruling that Mr Gambaryan’s grounds of ill health were not sufficient to release him from detention.


The judge then fixed 18 October for continuation for trial but mister Gambaryan was absent on health grounds, according to prison.


The judge then rescheduled the trial for 25 October, which appears to have now been overtaken by the event of Wednesday’s unpublicised hearing.
