Updated on

Ilmars Rimsevics, probed for bribery by Latvia’s anti-corruption bureau, has returned to work at the central bank in Riga that he’s headed since 2001.

“He has restrictions related to the systems of the Latvian central bank,” its spokesman, Janis Silakalns, said Friday by phone. While he won’t receive a salary from Latvia, Rimsevics will be able to review documents related to his work on the European Central Bank’s governing council, he said.
