Claver-Carone, who became president of the IDB in October 2020, denied the accusations of bad practices in his management. He says that he will take legal action against the bank.
Likewise, he pointed out that he has not been notified of the decision of the Governors of the bank to remove him from the presidency.
Last week it was revealed that a spokesman for the US Treasury Department declined to confirm the vote, but said that The United States supported the dismissal of Claver-Carone and wanted to see a “swift resolution” from the governors.
The Davis Polk law firm told the governors it had found evidence to support the whistleblowers’ allegations that Claver-Carone had been in an intimate relationship with a subordinate and had engaged in misconduct that violated bank rules.
