The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken Elie Bitar off its wanted list for crypto bridge exchange (CBEX) fraud.
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale in a statement disclosed that the agency had removed Bitar’s name from the wanted list due to “new information.”
“Ellie Bitar of CBEX Solutions Ltd., who was earlier declared wanted, has since been removed from the list owing to new information that does not support his inclusion in the wanted persons’ list.”
“The Commission is making good progress in its investigations. Law enforcement agencies across the world are collaborating with it in tracking and arresting all the wanted persons. The EFCC will not relent in bringing every actor involved in the fraudulent dealings to book.” The statement read.
