When journalist Evan Gershkovich and former Marine Paul Whelan arrived on U.S. soil this month, after many months in Russian jails, it was a joyous moment for most Americans. But for Yuki Gambaryan, it was bittersweet. That's because her own husband, Tigran, a former IRS special agent who has played a pivotal role in catching terrorists and crypto criminals, remains detained on spurious charges in a Nigerian prison, where his health is fading.
"Every day it's nothing but frustration for our family. Six months is a long time for an innocent man to be detained, and the fear of losing him is all consuming," a worried Gambaryan told Fortune from her family's home in Georgia.
