Per article, he was in NY for personal, not business reason. For instance, he paid his room with his personal credit card, not business card. For this reason, they couldn’t invoke diplomatic immunity. If he were doing this in D.C., where he seemed to have some business meetings, the story would have been different.
Even then, they would wave the immunity for a rape case.
Honestly with so much money and politics involved never rule out a set up. You are talking hundreds of billions of $$ in IMF sponsored EU bailouts that may be affected (US was not happy about them, EU and DSK liked them). And then there’s this little French election.
Are you referring to the DC crowd? If so, you’re correct.
“Per article, he was in NY for personal, not business reason. For instance, he paid his room with his personal credit card, not business card. For this reason, they couldn’t invoke diplomatic immunity.”
We all know this is bunk. They protect their own and if they wanted to give him immunity he would have immunity. Obviously they didn’t make him rape the woman but I’d imagine they knew he did stuff like this. It cannot be the first time.
Was here just visiting or whoring around? The list of phone numbers and contacts on that phone could be very interesting!! How many times in the last few months had he called his frined Soros?
Oui, certainment, a “set-up” as you Americans like to say.
In Europe, we will use the magic words, “ J’accuse”.
Meme chose.
update.
Remember how the IMF drummed Paul Wolfowitz out of the IMF presidency for trivial and open and transparent help he gave for his girlfriend, also a part of the IMF?
Think that there will be a double standard for Mr Strauss Kahn in this regard?
You bet.
No big deal. This guy was an overachieving sociopath. He was easy target for setup. Wanted to run for President against Company's asset Sarkozy.
The question is - The Company or DGSE?
He must be pretty strong for a man in his 60’s. He had to physically battle a woman half his age, and then still have enough left in the tank to do the sex act.
Thanks, Civ
The latest: DSK will be the guest of the NYPD at Riker’s Islamd Prison. A real hell hole.
NYPD is also investigating at least one similar incident at the same hotel.
DSK said in a recent interview- “ I like women, so what”! “There has been talk for years about photos of giant orgies, but they have never come out”
This is going to be very very interesting!
I hate guys like this. When I was a child my mother worked as a hotel maid. One night a guest made advances and she got out of the room unscathed only because he was old and she was young and athletic. Some rich men think the housekeeper is part of the room rate. I wonder how many women he’s run over.
It was the World Bank, not the IMF. In 2007.
He had previously cleared the personnel moves regarding his GF with his board. Her situation was not very different from that of some others at the Bank, apparently. But he pissed off the wrong people, and they latched onto the girlfriend situation to get him fired.
“he has a daughter going to Columbia University,”
Thats nice. She will be close enough to visit Dad in the Penitentiary.
Sorry, I don't buy this. ALL people appointed to the IMF and World Bank are crooks, but it is the US as the main contributor that is the deciding factor in all appointments. So you need to blame our politicians for this mess. As you can see, they appointed a socialist. They (by "they," I mean Bush and the other Karl Rove Republicans) do not stand for you and me.
Reeks of “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit”, sadly too real life....hope the truth comes out and if guilty the suspect gets the max, and the victim gets the best out of life after such a horrible thing....
Yup.
Wish someone would run this M.O. on BHO, but they would have to use a boy.
Thanks. I stand corrected. Should have google it first.
“He must be pretty strong for a man in his 60’s.”
I don’t know how strong he is, but he’s definitely a “large” man. I haven’t seen specs on the victim, but would guess that for any average-sized woman, he would have been too much to handle.
