Detained Binance official trained EFCC officials, not part of management, crypto firm claims

The management of embattled crypto-currency firm, Binance Holdings Limited, has denied claims that one of its purported executives who is currently being detained in Nigeria, Tigran Gambaryan, is part of the company’s management team.

Gambaryan who was arrested on March 22 along with a director of the company, Nadeem Anjarwalla who later escaped and fled the country, was arraigned at the Federal High Court, Abuja court on Thursday on charges of money laundering to the tune of $35,400,000.

However, the crypto-exchange giant, in a statement on Wednesday, said Gambaryan who is an American, only serves as a law enforcement officer for the firm and does not have the power to make decisions at the management level.
