Hungary’s police are probing the country’s central bank after auditors said the regulator illegally shared information with the International Monetary Fund and failed to meet data-storage rules.
An investigation was started on suspicion of the abuse of authority and “other crimes” by the Budapest police department’s corruption and economic crimes division, the police press service said in an e-mail today. The Magyar Nemzeti Bank rejects the auditor’s findings and is “puzzled” by the probe, it said in an e-mail today.
