Bulgarian parliament votes to dismiss deputy central bank governor after bank runs
Reuters - Jan 21, 2015
Bulgaria's parliament voted on Wednesday to dismiss the central bank's deputy governor over the failure of Corporate Commercial Bank (Corpbank) last year.
Corpbank was hit by a bank run in June, triggering the country's worst financial crisis since the 1990s.
In June, Tsvetan Gounev, deputy central bank governor in charge of banking supervision, voluntarily took leave of absence after prosecutors opened an investigation against him.
All 108 deputies present voted to back the motion, introduced by the ruling centre-right GERB party.
