Dominique Strauss-Kahn trial: Prosecution calls for acquittal
The former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn should be cleared of “pimping”, the French state prosecutor said today.
A trial in Lille over the last two weeks has failed to produce any evidence that the former French politician “instigated” and organised a series of sex parties with prostitutes, the prosecutor said.
The final decision on DSK’s innocence or guilt rests with a panel of four judges. It now seems likely, however, that Mr Strauss-Khan will be acquitted of the only charge to reach trial after four years of accusations of sexual misconduct in France and the United States.
