Binance exec legal battle escalates amid US-Nigeria tug of war
In a statement to the press, Gambaryan’s wife expressed her confusion about why the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission will not release her husband after a court cleared him of tax evasion charges.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) pressed ahead with its money laundering case against Binance and its executive, Tigran Gambaryan, on Thursday, June 20, prompting a response from his wife, Yuki Gambaryan.
According to local media, the EFCC’s lead counsel, Ekele Iheanacho, appeared during the proceedings, allowing the cross-examination of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission Director, Abdulkadir Abbas, to proceed.
This development comes just days after a court cleared Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla — who had fled Nigeria — of tax evasion charges related to Binance in a case brought by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) on Friday, June 14.
