May 29 (Reuters) – Former Bundesbank head Hans Tietmeyer said on Tuesday he was not a candidate to become the next head of the Vatican bank.
“I know absolutely nothing about this,” Tietmeyer, who headed the German central bank from 1993 to 1999, told Reuters. “I have read that but it is completely untrue.”
Italian media reported earlier on Tuesday that Tietmeyer was under consideration to succeed Italian Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, who left the Vatican bank after a vote of no-confidence on Thursday.
