Latvia's top banker detained amid bribery and money-laundering claims

Latvia's top banking official, a key member of the European Central Bank, has been detained after being questioned for hours by anti-corruption authorities amid accusations of bribery and money laundering in the European nation's financial system.

Latvian state TV showed Ilmars Rimsevics arriving at the offices of the country's anti-corruption agency on Saturday night and leaving early on Sunday, following what the broadcaster said was a raid on his office and property.
