"It is hard for me to evaluate the real political underlying reasons and I do not even want to get into that subject, but I cannot believe that everything is as it seems and how it was initially presented," he said. "It does not sit right in my head."
Mr Strauss-Kahn was arrested at JFK airport in New York on May 14 for allegedly sexually assaulting a hotel chambermaid.
Mr Putin's public support for Mr Strauss-Kahn comes days after a French politician alleged that the former IMF chief had said before his arrest that he thought Mr Putin was actively plotting his downfall.

IMO, the fact that DSK is a pig might have made this even easier. When you have hundreds of billions and possibly the future of EU in your hands you better watch out.

Putin does not like the case as it is shaping up. It reminds him of what routinely has gone on in his own world.
I am sure that he thinks that he could create a better story line himself, and enforce it more neatly.
My wife’s family in Germany believes to a person that this was a political hit job carried out on behalf of the current party in power in France. Apparently, few in Europe believe that the assault was real.
