Anna-Maria Galojan (born 23 February 1982) is an Estonian politician known for her embezzlement conviction, exile in London, and extradition proceedings in the English courts. She was leader of the youth section of the Estonian Reform Party and worked on the European movement in Estonia. In May 2011, she was convicted of embezzling 60,000 euros from the non-profit organisation European Movement Estonia, where she served as CEO.
After her conviction, Galojan lived in London, fighting extradition and describing herself as a political refugee. Others have described her case as influenced by media bias and noted the money was misappropriated before her tenure as CEO. On 19 February 2015, she was extradited to Estonia and transferred to Tallinn Prison. She appeared on the cover of Estonian Playboy in 2009.
