Czech Intelligence Service questions Tosovsky's alleged involvement with stb

The Czech Intelligence Service has cast doubt on allegations that the former prime minister and long-serving Central Bank governor Josef Tosovsky cooperated with the communist-era secret police. A spokesman for the Intelligence Service said that had Mr. Tosovsky been an official agent his name would have appeared on the list of secret police agents. The daily Mlada Fronta Dnes made the allegations in its Monday edition, citing interior ministry archives. The paper said Mr. Tosovsky had drafted economic analyses at the request of the communist secret police and handed over notes from meetings with foreign financiers. Josef Tosovsky, now head of the Financial Stability Institute in Switzerland, has denied the allegations.
