Wind up Bailout Review Now: Greek PM

Greece's bailout review must be concluded immediately, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' office said on Monday, as talks on the country's fiscal progress resumed amid tension after a leaked transcript detailing IMF mooted tactics to get a deal

Internet whistleblowing site WikiLeaks published on Saturday what it said was the transcript of a March 19 conference call of three senior IMF officials, discussing tactics to apply pressure on Greece, Germany and the European Union to reach a deal in April.

International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde denied on Sunday that IMF staff would push Greece closer to default as a negotiating maneuver on a new Greek bailout deal.
