Anjarwalla and Tigran Gambaryan, head of financial crime compliance at Binance, were arrested on February 26. Gambaryan came from the US to defend the company against charges of tax evasion and money laundering, causing tensions between the US and Nigeria. Gambaryan, an American citizen, filed a separate lawsuit against the NSA and EFCC, scheduled for trial on July 9. Anjarwalla, who holds British and Kenyan citizenship, remained in Kenya when Nigeria sought extradition.
