Government will not dismiss corrupt Radko Kuruc as CEO of state bank SZRB

The government will not dismiss Radko Kuruc from his position as CEO of the state guarantee bank SZRB after he was convicted of corruption by the Specialized Criminal Court, PM Robert Fico said. Kuruc received a 3‑year suspended sentence and a €60,000 fine for accepting a €120,000 bribe. Fico correctly assumed that keeping him in the post would not cause any further reputational damage. Central bank governor Peter Kažimír is in a similar situation, having also been convicted of corruption. In both cases, Fico wants to wait for a final Supreme Court ruling.
