IMF chief denies any wrongdoing and said today in a statement released by French adviser Marc Vanghelder that she "always acted in this affair in the interest of the state and in respect of the law."

Paris: International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde plans to appeal a decision to send her to trial over a 400 million-euro (USD 434 million) payment made to a prominent French businessman in 2008.

Lagarde denies any wrongdoing and said today in a statement released by French adviser Marc Vanghelder that she "always acted in this affair in the interest of the state and in respect of the law."

According to the statement, Lagarde considers "no charge can be attributed to her" and has asked her lawyers to launch an appeal over the earlier decision by the Court of Justice of the Republic to send her to trial.
