Dominique Strauss-Kahn (Read the picture) will not enjoy diplomatic immunity. Accepted in the Statute of the International Monetary Fund officials "in the performance of official acts in exercising their functions", but the director was in New York for personal reasons. Even the hotel at the center of the story, the Sofitel New York - where, according to the indictment, Strauss-Kahn would have raped a 32 year-old waitress - "not in the list of hotels" for selected personnel on mission, stressed by the IMF.
Arrested last Saturday, the Director will be transferred tomorrow to a Rikers Island prison, New Yorker, one of the largest groups in the city. Strauss-Khan will be declared innocent and this is the line that his lawyers will bring before the courts of the U.S. Friday. The thesis of the defense lawyers announced, will focus on a consensual sexual relationship between the Director of the Fund and the maid of the hotel where was staying.
According to French radio 'CTMR', Strauss-Kahn will also support that he left the hotel before the time set by the prosecution for the offense, to have lunch with her daughter. The lawyers then try to prove the allegations to the Director as part of a conspiracy. Assumptions that do not believe the brother of the alleged victim, who says that the girl had called on Saturday: "He was crying, she could never stop.
He told me that something bad had just happened. " "It is not right - still the man - my sister is a decent man. She would never be able to do something like that. " In the political storm erupted with the arrest of Strauss-Kahn, who is already thinking about a possible successor to the direction of the IMF.

"It is time that the IMF is headed by someone who represents the emerging countries, however, according to the Government of Brazil.

The list of names is ready: South Africa's Trevor Manuel, a former finance minister from 1996 to 2009, the Indian Ahluwlia Montek Singh, former director of the independent evaluation of the Fund, and Kemal Dervis, a former finance minister turkish.
