Peter Kazimir, who heads Slovakia’s central bank, has said the claims against him are unsubstantiated.
Peter Kazimir, a member of the European Central Bank’s Governing Council, was charged with bribery in Slovakia, where politicians are stepping up pressure to try to force him out.
Kazimir, who heads the country’s central bank, rejected the allegations. His lawyer Ondrej Mularcik said that the governor received notification of the charges and will file a complaint against them.
“I don’t feel guilty of any crime,” Kazimir said in a statement distributed by the central bank on Tuesday. He said the claims against him are unsubstantiated. An ECB spokeswoman had no comment.
