Dominique Strauss-Kahn was 'king of party' at sex soiree, claim French investigators
The report said that phone text messages between Kahn and the other accused confirmed his organisational role.
Disgraced former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was the ‘linchpin’ and ‘party king’ of an illicit prostitute ring.
The revelation was made in a leaked report by French investigators, which appears to demolish Kahn’s defence that he was unaware that the women at the orgies were prostitutes.
The report details the extent to which he had allegedly been involved in the organisation of the sex parties, which took place at luxury hotels in Lille, Paris and Washington while he was serving as the IMF chief.
According to the Independent, Kahn, along with 12 others, has been charged with aggravated pimping, for his role in the scandal known as the ‘Carlton affair’, named after one of the Lille hotels where the alleged orgies took place.
The report said that phone text messages between Kahn and the other accused confirmed his organisational role.
If Kahn is found guilty of the aggravated-pimping charges, he faces a maximum 10 years in jail and a fine of up to €1.5m.
