The head of Slovakia's central bank and member of the European Central Bank body that decides monetary policy for 20 countries was convicted Thursday of bribery and fined 100,000 euros ($110,000).
The country’s Special Criminal Court handed National Bank of Slovakia Gov. Peter Kazimir a two-year suspended sentence, said Katarina Kudjakova, a spokesperson for the court. If Kazimir does not pay the fine, he would go to jail.
