It is not the first time that the Director of the IMF is involved in issues of "sexual conduct". Dominique Strauss-Kahn has seen his career wobble in 2002 and 2008. In February 2007, the young French journalist and writer Tristan Banon revealed during the telecast, "93 Faubourg Saint Honore" that a "very influential politician" had tried to rape her in 2002.
At that time, the journalist who was working on a book called "Erreurs avouées ... (au masculin) '(Mistakes ... confessed to men), had requested an interview with what later turned out to be Dominique Strauss-Kahn. DSK gave her an appointment in a so-called "bachelor pad" or an apartment used for clandestine affairs.
The Banon said: "The apartment was completely empty, there was only a television, a VCR and a bed, in good taste. I put the recorder and he wanted to keep him a hand because otherwise she could not speak. After the hand took my arm and then slowly, went further. I stopped immediately. Eventually the situation became violent, I said clearly No.
We fought on the ground, but two slaps, I kicked him and tore off my bra and tried to open my jeans. I managed to get out and he sent me a text message that said "then I'll really be scared?". When we fought I said the word "rape" to frighten him. But he has no effect, as if it were used.
And then continued to send the same sms. The journalist decided not to report never DSK because "I wanted to be until the end of my days the girl who had a problem with a politician." One year after the broadcast of February 2002, Tristan Banon will reveal that the leading politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn was right.
Mansouret Anne, mother of Tristan and vice president of the Socialist Party of the Regional Council of the Eure, had subsequently said that the life of his daughter, who then made his debut in journalism, "had been deeply shaken." The Mansouret also explained that Dominique Strauss-Kahn was the father of Tristan's best friend and former husband of her godmother.
Complaint was quite "complicated". Banon's mother had always reported to have spoken directly to Dominique, who had replied: "I do not know what came over me, I lost control." Subsequently, the Mansouret confess that he regretted not having convinced her daughter to report it. But there's more.
In 2008, already at the helm of the IMF for a year, DSK is involved in a case of suspected sexual harassment against Piroska Nagy, a Hungarian economist of the IMF department responsible for Africa. On 18 October 2008, the Board of the IMF opened an internal investigation to verify the suspicion of abuse of power DSK in a very delicate moment for the organization.
Strauss-Kahn will come out clean on October 25 because it was found that "there was not guilty of harassment or favoritism, or abuse of power." In short, the relationship was consensual. Even before the outcome of investigations, DSK had a public apology to the staff of the institution acknowledging that he made a mistake "entertaining intimate relations with a female employee." There followed an apology to Nagy, promptly transferred to the ECB, and his wife.
