The International Criminal Police Organisation (INTERPOL) has declared its commitment to extradite Nadeem Anjarwalla, the fleeing Binance Regional Manager for Africa, to Nigeria to face tax evasion charges. Anjarwalla, along with his colleague Tigran Gambaryan, is accused of tax evasion, with Gambaryan currently in custody in Abuja.
Garba Umar, Vice President of INTERPOL (Africa) Executive Committee, affirmed this during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme. Umar assured that the process to return Anjarwalla to Nigeria has already begun.
He stated, “If a fugitive escapes, there are processes in which that country will follow, INTERPOL will only give information, assist them and inform them about the bilateral agreements and conventions that were signed to extradite a fleeing fugitive and the process is ongoing and Nadeem is not an exception. Be rest assured, we have all the cooperation and we are working on it and definitely, one day, he will be brought to justice, it’s just a matter of time. We have done all the paperwork.”
