Dominique Strauss-Kahn, IMF Head, held over alleged sex assault.
The Washington Post reports that the French head of the IMF, much in the news over recent sovereign bail outs in the EU and potential presdiential candidate for the French elections next year, is under investigation over an alleged sex assault in a $3,000 per night hotel suite. He was subsequently removed from the First Class section of an Air France flight for questioning.
In reading subsequent reports and news items on this astounding incident, Ironies Too readers will be sufficiently sophisticated and well-informed to be aware, that at this high level of politics and the levels of skullduggery now reached within the EU, nothing should be taken at face value.
