Kosovo central bank chief arrested in anti-corruption probe

Kosovo police have arrested the territory's central bank governor Hashim Rexhepi in an anti-corruption investigation, reports BBC News.

The EU's rule of law mission (Eulex) said the probe concerned suspected bribes, tax evasion, influence-peddling and money laundering.

No other details are known at the moment.

On Thursday UN judges in The Hague ruled that Kosovo's secession from Serbia in 2008 was not illegal.
