The ECB policymaker, who denies wrongdoing, charged after the country’s former head of tax administration co-operates with investigators
Prague — Slovak central bank governor and European Central Bank governing council member Peter Kazimir has been charged with bribery but denies wrongdoing and will defend himself against the charges, Kazimir and his lawyer said on Tuesday.
Slovak news website www.aktuality.sk, citing several unidentified sources, reported that Kazimir was charged in a case related to an alleged bribe to the country’s former head of tax administration who has been charged in several cases and is now co-operating with investigators. “The state of facts in the resolution is untrue and in the reasoning itself lacks confirming evidence,” Kazimir said.
