I smell a West African scam!

I have seen this scenario engineered in Nigeria where the accused having been with a "professional", normally ends up paying a load of money to shut things up.

This is the type of people that EU relies on to settle the crisis!!!!! How many other such cases were hidden under the carpet no one knows ???? But Good that this came into public eye ...... Lets see what EU officials say ? With all this beaurocracy everything will go under the carpet like nothing happened .. Eu is only good to issue rules and regulations.

1) We should remember the IMF is not an EU institution but an international banker of governments with 187 member states:

2) Every man is innocent till proven guilty - let us first have a trial

3) Otherwise I agree with you on several other points -
a) that such matters are too often swept under the carpet when the so-called great and good and are involved
b) that the EU is very good at sweeping things under the carpet in particular what might be misuse and theft of EU funds, which is OUR money on a massive scale - why have the EU accounts not been signed off for many years?
c) That it is a bureaucratic monster good only for making rules for the rest of us while providing a gravy train for the Eurocrats that make our public parasites seem like rank amateurs.

Another woman has claimed also that she was sexually harrased by him when he met him in his office in an interview back in 2002 .

Do you know what is the annual salary of the Head of IMF it is half million dolars per year And where do these money come from ??? The tax payers ....? who are supposed to obey the laws and rules ... I think these type of crimes are more serious because they have been commited by high ranking oficials .

And the Hypocricy of all how many EU presidents attempted to cover the case or to show sympathy to this coward ?? One spanish minister and the the Luxemburg prime minister said he was a friend of him and they accused the media of showing him in public been arested They also accused the US police the way they handled the issue .

He ought to resign to save the image of the IMF .

A scam on a Jew! Is that really possible?

The one statement made that I find suspicious is that ‘........she was forced to have oral sex!’ The last thing I would do if I were trying to rape a woman was to put my extremities anywhere near her mouth ............. I should think teeth marks would be the least of his problems!

My eyes water just thinking about it!

Perhaps he was giving her oral sex. It said to 'have', not give?????

But yes, I agree and that struck me also as 'dodgy'.

By Bananiotoglu's theory though, she is at fault, she asked for it!

Dominique Strauss-Kahn was bailed for $1 million on Thursday night, after agreeing to live under house arrest with his wife at a New York flat, where he will be watched around the clock by an armed guard.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn: villain or victim?
As the accusations grow, friends of DSK say he was set up, writes Henry Samuel in Paris

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/domi ... ictim.html

Dominique Strauss-Kahn was sitting in his Air France Business Class cabin in New York last Saturday awaiting take off for Paris when suddenly, he spotted a passing hostess. Within earshot of the cabin crew on flight AF023, the 62-year-old is said to have growled, half-shouting: “What a great arse.”

At that moment DSK, as he is known, was one of the most powerful men in the world: a brilliant and charismatic economist who both ran the International Monetary Fund and was widely tipped to become the next president of France. Seconds later, he was whisked off the plane and arrested on charges of sexual assault of a 32-year old New York hotel chambermaid, sending his personal life, career and French politics into a tailspin.

Some will have found his reported parting shot mildly amusing, many downright degrading, but few in France would be shocked to learn that one of its top politicians had an eye for the ladies and was proud to shout about it.

Dominique de Villepin, France’s former Gaullist prime minister, remarked in 2005: “A French politician is someone who has a wife in the provinces and a mistress in Paris.” France, he went on, “wants to be (forcefully) taken, she itches for it in her loins”. Presidents, including Nicolas Sarkozy have been, if anything, buoyed by tales of “Don Juanism”.

As for DSK, a former Socialist finance minister, his reputation as a Lothario has been the talk of soirées parisiennes for years. In a French press interview shortly before his arrest, Mr Strauss-Kahn said: “I love women, et alors?”

Nicknamed the “great seducer”, his run-ins with female students when professor at Sciences Po and Paris’ Dauphine university, his visits to Les Chandelles, a Paris swingers’ club, and his persistent attempts to bed female journalists are an open secret.

In the 2006 book, Secrets of a Presidential Contender, the anonymous French author calling herself Cassandre and who claims to be in DSK’s inner circle of advisers, writes: “His eye for women is laser-sharp. He does a little survey, turning his head almost imperceptibly to the left, then to the right, while carrying on talking. After identifying his prey, he bombards them with text messages, usually with the opening salvo 'I want you’.”

For years, friends laughed off such behaviour as the methods of a libertarian lover. “He’s always been a bon vivant,” observed his Socialist friend Jean-Jack Queyranne. But as troubling details of DSK’s alleged sexual misdeeds crossed the Atlantic this week, the French were faced with the altogether less savoury prospect that “le grand séducteur” might be a rapist, who sequestered a poor, Guinean single mother in his luxury suite and forced her to perform a sexual act.

Such is the disbelief in France, that some 57 per cent believe Mr Strauss-Kahn is the victim of a dastardly plot to unseat him from the IMF or the French presidential race. His supporters have let it be known that President Nicolas Sarkozy had threatened to “sink him with an Exocet” if he sought to run against him next year. Socialist Claude Bartolone said that DSK had warned him in late April that he might be the victim of a joint strike from the French president and Vladimir Putin, the Russian prime minister to “get (him) thrown out of the IMF”.

A source close to Mr Strauss-Kahn’s daughter Vanessa, who lives in Paris, told the Daily Telegraph the family is convinced it was a set-up. Mr Strauss-Kahn himself told French journalists late last month he could “easily imagine” being wrongly accused of rape by a woman paid “500,000 or 1 million euros” to accuse him.

But as the country belatedly rummages through their fallen champion’s womanising past, a disturbing pattern of behaviour appears to be emerging. Cautiously, women have started to recount their brushes with DSK, an apparent tight-rope walker between heavy flirtation and sexual harassment.

The first to fire a broadside was Tristane Banon, a 31-year old writer and ex-best friend of Camille, Mr Strauss-Kahn’s youngest daughter. She is considering pressing for sexual assault charges over claims he lunged at her during an interview like a “rutting chimpanzee”. “We fought on the floor. I kicked him, he unhooked my bra, he tried to open my jeans. I said the word 'rape’ to scare him but it didn’t seem to scare him much,” she said in a 2007 TV chat show.

Thierry Ardisson, a TV presenter, said: “Everyone knew about it. I have 14 women pals who have told me: “He tried to jump me.” I think that guy has an illness. He needs therapy.” Aurélie Filippetti, a Socialist MP, has also said she was once the object of a “very heavy-handed flirt” by DSK. “I made sure I was not alone with him in a closed room,” she said.

But against this onslaught of outrage, some have warned against lumping heavy-handed seduction with harassment. Elisabeth Guigou, a former cabinet colleague, said: “Dominique Strauss-Kahn has always had a reputation as a man who is interested in women. But there is a very big difference between the reputation of flirt... which he and his wife came to terms with... and the accusation he faces,” she said.

Chief among those who apparently turned a blind eye to DSK’s “borderline” behaviour has been his third wife, TV journalist Anne Sinclair. After DSK’s high–profile 2008 affair with Piroska Nagy, an IMF economist, Anne is said to have told a friend,“Well, they worked together. Et alors?” She also declared: “We love each other as much as on the first day.”

“Anne is in a strategy of denial about Dominique’s affairs,” said a friend of the vastly wealthy, American-born heiress whose grandfather was Picasso’s top art dealer.

When once quizzed about whether she minded about her husband’s reputation as a womaniser, she exclaimed: “Mind? I'm rather proud of it. It’s important for a politician to seduce.”

When the world scrutinised Anne’s waxen features as her husband blew her a kiss from a New York courtroom yesterday, that Gallic nonchalance looked sorely tested.

Right, that is indeed suspicious! Like that never happened.

And what are we to make of the reports of Prime Minister Silvio "bunga bunga" Berlusconi being seen with a young dark Moroccan woman?


I have not made a decision on the strauss-kahn case even though more woman are now stepping forward against this individual. I'll wait for the facts before passing judgment.
