The World Bank’s board has turned down a request by International Monetary Fund’s (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, two sources told Reuters news agency.An attorney hired by Georgieva asked for the meeting in a 17-page letter on Friday to the dean of the bank’s board.The attorney, 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, according to a copy of the letter viewed by Reuters news agency.
