EFCC Retracts Wanted Status of Innocent Man

EFCC Retracts Wanted Status of Innocent Man 

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has acknowledged an error in declaring Ellie Bitar wanted in connection with the CBEX Solutions Ltd. Ponzi scheme.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the EFCC confirmed that Bitar’s name has been removed from its wanted list following new evidence proving he should not have been included. This correction came after a report by the Financial Integrity Journal (FIJ) highlighted the wrongful declaration.

The commission emphasized that the investigation into the CBEX scam continues and is intensifying with support from international law enforcement agencies.
