🎉 As we celebrate the contributions of hardworking individuals across the nation, let's not forget those whose dedication to justice and the fight against financial crime has been met with challenges far beyond the workplace. Today, and every day, we stand in solidarity with Tigran Gambaryan, a respected AFC professional and former IRS agent, who remains unjustly detained by corrupt Nigerian officials. It is clear that he is being used as a bargaining chip in a legal dispute with Binance—a situation that has put his life at risk and undermined the principles of justice we all strive to uphold. We call on the global AFC community to raise awareness of Tigran's plight and demand his immediate release. No one should be subjected to this kind of exploitation and abuse of power. Together, we can make a difference. #LaborDay #FinancialCrime #BringTigranHome #Corruption #Nigeria
