Hotel staff 'celebrated' after Dominique Strauss-Kahn's arrest

Claims that Dominique Strauss-Kahn was the victim of a conspiracy were reignited last night, after extraordinary new allegations were made about his sexual encounter with a New York chambermaid.

By Henry Samuel, Paris

12:25AM GMT 26 Nov 2011

Staff at the hotel where the ex-International Monetary Fund chief allegedly assaulted the maid were filmed high-fiving and doing a “dance of celebration” after the incident in May, a new article claims.

Mr Strauss-Kahn also believed his mobile phone had been hacked after being told one of his private emails was seen in the headquarters of his rival Nicolas Sarkozy's political party, it alleges.

The article, by the investigative journalist Edward Epstein in the New York Review of Books, will provoke fury among allies of Mr Strauss-Kahn, who have long maintained that he was set up.

He had been expected to challenge Mr Sarkozy for the French presidency next year, but was forced to resign from the IMF and withdraw from the presidential race after his arrest in New York.

Material for a new French political thriller.
Tailor-made for a French equivalent of Tom Clancy. LOL.

Or maybe he was just an a-hole that hotel staff had had to put with for way too long.

Conspiracy, or just unpopular?

All accounts are that he does not possess the personality that would endear him to menials.

It’s a conspiracy right?

*** FRENCH POLITICS AND CULTURE PING LIST *** 

*** FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO JOIN  ***

Nafissatou Diallo lied
Tristane Banon lied- but the judge says she was attacked, DSK admitted hr grabbed her, but the statute of limitations had tolled

The orgy affair in Lille-another set up. Prostitutes and underage girls brought in for DSK & friends; he also organized orgies all over the world, including flying in underage girls to NY from France.
So, everyone’s lying but DSK.
France dodged a bullet. Statues of Mme Diallo and Banon should be placed in every Mairie in France.
