IMF directors voice confidence in Lagarde
WASHINGTON—The executive board of the International Monetary Fund expressed confidence in managing director Christine Lagarde Thursday after a French court ordered an embezzlement probe against her.
“It would not be appropriate for the board to comment on a case that is currently before the French judiciary. However, the board is confident that she will be able to effectively carry out her duties as managing director,” it said in a statement.
