Dominique Strauss-Kahn (DSK) to the saints never belonged and urban legends circulated about his wyskokach long before the official accusations. However, it plunged him the story of French journalist Tristano Banon, who claimed that DSK as early as 2003., During an interview conducted with him, he tried to rape her. Neither the testimony coming from Guinea maid who in 2011. In New York accused him of attempted rape. Neither – strongest, it would seem – a French court on charges of pimping and organizing orgies that same DSK called “libertyńskimi evenings.”
Banon about their charges against DSK began to speak only 7 years after the incident. There was then up to several hours of confrontation between the two sides before the police. But the Paris prosecutor’s office dropped the investigation because according to investigators although in 2003. Actually took place “sexual aggression” against Banon, there is no evidence of attempted rape.
Besides the whole thing – according to investigators – after three Between barred. Accusations from New York died after the lawyers managed to undermine the credibility of the hotel maid, and in recent allegation, as you can see, the French justice or not found a reason to convict. Although DSK threatened up to 10 years in prison and a fine of 1.5 million euros.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, of course, suffered because of the loss of social trust, attacks tabloids and broken political career (resigned his position at the IMF and although he was strong Left candidate for president of France in 2011., retired from public life). Also broke up his longtime relationship with the journalist Anne Sinclair, who at the beginning of even flew him to the United States, paid a deposit and strongly supported him. But when it came to light more spicy details, she asked him to leave their Parisian apartment, and demanded separation.
Except that Strauss-Kahn, still in New York could afford to pay million bail, which allowed him to to sit under house arrest rather than in a normal public custody. He had both in America and then in France, the money for the excellent lawyers. After the first hearings in Lille, which took place in spring 2012., Also did not have to sit in jail. The exemption provided him pay 100 thousand. euro deposit. For all he could afford.
Of course he had to spend a fortune on lawyers, but their carefully prepared line of defense, where from the beginning argued that the DSK actually participated in orgies, but did not organize them, and not recruit prostitutes, today brought the expected result. According to the prosecution does not have evidence that Strauss-Kahn knew that women participating in the meetings that prostitutes. DSK lawyers have done their job well.
It may even be that for some time Strauss-Kahn free to return to showrooms, and to his “private affairs” no one will return. But in recent years DSK disappeared from the political scene, but not of the world economists. Constantly invited him to conferences and business meetings, even reportedly advised banks and investment funds.
So the theory is confirmed by the well-known Polish lawyer prof. Victor Osiatyński that the law favors the powerful and those who can afford good lawyers.
