Yuki Gambaryan, wife of Tigran Gambaryan, Binance’s head of financial crime compliance, is pleading for her husband's release after he was detained by Nigerian authorities. Gambaryan, along with Nadeem Anjarwalla, Binance’s regional manager for Africa, was arrested on February 28, with Anjarwalla subsequently escaping.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed money laundering charges against Gambaryan, Anjarwalla, and Binance, while tax evasion charges have stalled due to procedural issues.
In her letter to the Nigerian government, Yuki described her husband as an innocent man dedicated to his family and job, emphasizing his role in combating cryptocurrency-related crimes globally.
She expressed the hardship faced by their family, especially their young children, due to Gambaryan's prolonged absence. Yuki appealed to the government for mercy, requesting Gambaryan's release and emphasizing the impact on their family and his aging mother.
The case has garnered attention as it unfolds, raising questions about the legal proceedings and the future of Gambaryan and Anjarwalla.
