Reuters exclusively reports World Bank denies IMF chief Georgieva’s bid for meeting to defend herself

Reuters exclusively reported that the World Bank’s board has turned down a request by IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva for a meeting to defend herself against claims that she pressured staff to alter data as the bank’s CEO in 2017. An attorney hired by Georgieva, Whitney Debevoise of Arnold & Porter, wrote that an investigation report prepared by the WilmerHale law firm for the board was improperly conducted, violated Georgieva’s due process rights, and based its fundamental conclusion on a false assumption.
