Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan’s wife expressed her confusion about why the Nigerian law enforcement agency cannot release her husband based on the Federal Inland Revenue Service rebuttal.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) pressed on with its money laundering case against Binance Ltd, a cryptocurrency platform, and its executive, Tigran Gambaryan, on Thursday, June 20, prompting a response from his wife, Yuki Gambaryan.
According to local media, EFCC’s lead counsel, Ekele Iheanacho, appeared during the proceedings, enabling the cross-examination of Securities Exchange Commission’s director, Abdulkadir Abbas, to proceed.
This development comes just days after the court cleared Tigran Gambaryan, a 39-year-old American, and Nadeem Anjarwalla, who had fled, of tax evasion charges related to Binance in a case brought by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) on Friday, June 14.
