EFCC in Collaboration with Global Authorities to Prep Binance Exec
The Nigerian Punch newspaper has reported that Nadeem Anjarwalla, Binance Exec, accused of $35,400,000 money laundering alongside his colleague Gambaryan, has been traced by the Federal Government to Kenya, where he absconded.

He added that Gambaryan is in custody, and efforts to extradite Anjarwalla are underway, signifying the commission's vigorous pursuit of justice. In addition, the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor disclosed that over $26 billion had been funneled through Binance without a trace.
