(ANSA) - ROME - Ablv Bank, the Latvian bank accused by the US authorities of financial ties with the North Korean regime, has called for up to 480 million euros of emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) from the central bank of Latvia, said the Ablv spokesperson Arturs Eglitis. In order to activate the ELA mechanism, a permission from the ECB is necessary.

On the table, not only the situation of Ablv, whose payments were given a moratorium by the ECB, but also the case of Ilmars Rimsevics, the governor of the Latvian central bank accused of having extorted bribes amounting to about 100,000 euros. (ANSA).
