Строс-Кан обвинява Саркози Бившият шеф на Международния валутен фонд Доминик Строс-Кан отново обвини политическите си противници заради аферата с хотелската камериерка, която провали участието му в президентските избори. След като гласува на първия тур като избирател, а не като кандидат, Строс-Кан отправи обвинения срещу президента Никола Саркози в интервю за британската преса. Той не казва, че случката в Ню Йорк е нагласена, но посочва, че развитието на събитията е дирижирано така, че да унищожи шансовете му да се кандидатира за президент. Това е предизвикано от хора с политически амбиции, казва Строс-Кан и твърди, че телефонът му е подслушван от хора на Саркози. Това става в момент, когато президентът с всички сили се бори за втори мандат.

Diallo, a maid at the Sofitel Hotel in midtown Manhattan, accused Strauss-Kahn of forcing her to perform oral sex in his luxury suit. Strauss-Kahn has said the incident was consensual. Prosecutors dropped the criminal case against Strauss-Kahn in August because they had concerns about Diallo's credibility as a witness. McKeon called Strauss-Kahn's motion an unsuccessful "Hail Mary" attempt to secure immunity from prosecution. He ruled Strauss-Kahn's voluntary resignation from his IMF post days after his arrest on criminal charges put an end to any diplomatic immunity he might have enjoyed. Strauss-Kahn's lawyers said they were disappointed by the judge's decision. "He is determined to fight the claims brought against him and we are confident that he will prevail," William Taylor and Amit Mehta said in a statement. The scandal made headlines around the world nearly a year ago and scuttled Strauss-Kahn's expected bid for the French presidency. Continued...
