发帖数: 901 | 1 Former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn is being
questioned Tuesday by French police investigating a suspected hotel
prostitution ring.
Strauss-Kahn arrived at the police station in the northern city of Lille
around 8:00 a.m. GMT, an Associated Press reporter saw.
Police are probing a suspected prostitution ring in France and neighboring
Belgium that has implicated police and other officials. They have questioned
prostitutes who said they had sex with Strauss-Kahn during 2010 and 2011 at
a luxury hotel in Paris, a restaurant in the French capital and also in
Washington, D.C. Strauss-Kahn lived in the U.S. capital while he was head of
the IMF before resigning his position in May.
Two men with ties to Strauss-Kahn have been put under preliminary
investigation in France on charges including organizing a prostitution ring
and misuse of corporate funds.
Strauss-Kahn's name surfaced in the investigation last fall and his lawyer
has asked that Strauss-Kahn be allowed to tell his side of the story. One of
Strauss-Kahn's lawyers has said that the former French presidential hopeful
never knew that the women at orgies he attended were prostitutes.
"He could easily not have known, because as you can imagine, at these kinds
of parties you're not always dressed, and I challenge you to distinguish a
naked prostitute from any other naked woman," Henri Leclerc told French
radio Europe 1 in December.
French newspapers have dubbed the investigation "The Carlton Affair" after
the name of the expensive Lille hotel where some of the meetings took place.
