The Buzz | Top banker quits over missing USD1.5b 

Moldova’s central bank governor resigned yesterday, following weeks of street protests over $1.5 billion that disappeared from three Moldovan banks.
Dorin Dragutanu, governor of the National Bank of Moldova stepped down and accused politicians of interfering in the bank’s internal affairs.
He said if politicians continued to put pressure on him “I will say the truth, especially as my hands are free now.”
Dragutanu claimed politicians had tried to discredit the central bank. Prime Minister Valeriu Strelet responded, saying Dragutanu did not like politicians asking legitimate questions about the bank.
