During his interrogation, Strauss-Kahn told investigators he did not suspect
women he met at orgies were prostitutes, as they were introduced to him by
senior police officers, a source close to the probe said.
“He explained himself fully about all the events he was questioned on,”
Strauss-Kahn’s lawyer Frederique Baulieu said, but she declined to comment
on his future summons.
He was also to be quizzed by France’s police internal affairs department, the
IGPN, which is conducting a separate inquiry into a senior officer,
Commissioner Jean-Christophe Lagarde, who has been charged with pimping.
Under French law, aggravated organised pimping carries a prison term of up to
20 years and profiting from embezzlement five years and a fine.
Investigating magistrates want to know whether he was aware that women who
entertained him at parties in restaurants, hotels and swingers’ clubs in
Paris and Washington were paid prostitutes.
They will also ask whether Strauss-Kahn knew the escorts were paid with funds
allegedly fraudulently obtained from a public works company by his hosts.
Paying a prostitute is not illegal in France, but profiting from vice or
embezzling company funds to pay for sex can lead to charges.
Lawyer Henri Leclerc has said his client may not have known he was with
prostitutes as “in these parties, you’re not necessarily dressed. I
defy you to tell the difference between a nude prostitute and a nude woman
of quality.”
The former managing director of the International Monetary Fund acknowledges
having an uninhibited sex life, but rejects any role in pimping or
corruption and has indicated he will deny any criminal wrongdoing.
New York prosecutors abandoned a sex assault case against Strauss-Kahn last
year, but his accuser, an immigrant hotel maid, lodged a civil suit.
The US hearing next month will air arguments on pretrial motions and is not
the start of the trial itself.
The Bronx Supreme Court announced the new stage in the saga with a brief
statement saying “oral argument on the motions in the Diallo v
Strauss-Kahn case pending in Bronx Supreme Court will be held on March 15.”
Nafissatou Diallo says Strauss-Kahn attempted to rape her in his Manhattan
Sofitel hotel room where she had gone to clean on May 14 last year.
Strauss-Kahn was arrested later that day but insisted he was being framed
and prosecutors later dropped charges, saying the maid had credibility
problems.
The civil suit seeks unspecified damages from Strauss-Kahn, who is married to
a wealthy French journalist.
Friends of Strauss-Kahn have claimed a conspiracy to bring him down, removing
what had been seen as a viable challenge to French President Nicolas
Sarkozy.
Two businessmen, Fabrice Paszkowski, a medical equipment tycoon with ties to
Strauss-Kahn’s Socialist Party, and David Roquet, former director of a local
subsidiary of building giant BTP Eiffage, have already been charged in the
French prostitution case.
The pair are alleged to have links to a network of French and Belgian
prostitutes centred on the Carlton Hotel in Lille, a well-known meeting
place of the local business and political elite in a city run by the
Socialist Party.
In all, eight people are facing trial in connection with the “Carlton
affair”, including three executives from the luxury hotel itself, a
leading lawyer and the police chief, Lagarde.
The last of the sex parties is said to have taken place during a trip by a
group from Lille to Washington between May 11 and 13 last year.
One day later, on May 14, Strauss-Kahn was arrested in New York.
Strauss-Kahn has also been accused by 32-year-old French writer Tristane Banon
of attempting to rape her in 2003. Prosecutors decided there was prima facie
evidence of a sexual assault, but ruled that the statute of limitations had
passed.
