Both.

I've known the key has been in the desk since Jamal's wedding.

Or

I've known the key was in the desk since Jamal's wedding.

What's the difference or are they quite similar?

Then you'll need to use this one. You need present perfect after 'since' in any case:

I've known the key's been in the desk since Jamal's wedding.
