FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
However, magistrates are investigating whether he participated in “complicity
in a pimping operation.” Such accusations were “nauseating,”
said Mr Leclerc.
“Everyone can say whatever they want about the moral side of it. But that
doesn’t mean it’s forbidden anywhere in the penal code,” he said.
“In reality, what he’s being pursued for here is something like an
offence of lust. What he’s being blamed for is his libertine ways.”
Eight people have already been arrested in the case, and a construction firm
Eiffage fired an executive suspected of using company funds to hire sex
workers.
Prior to the hearings that led to him being officially placed under inquiry on
Monday night, he said he was victim of a media lynching in a country where
the press traditionally draws an almost indelible line between public and
private life.
Mr Strauss-Kahn’s latest problems come in a week when the man once tipped to
become France’s next president is back under fire in New York, too. Hearings
in a civil case brought by a woman who accused him of trying to rape her in
a Sofitel hotel suite last May begin on Wednesday.
Mr Leclerc characterised the case against Strauss-Kahn as a moral witch hunt
that exceed the bounds of the law.
Moreover, he said, the individual liberties of citizens were threatened in the
case, and considerable sums and months of police work were wasted “to
try to penetrate the private life of Dominique Strauss-Kahn.”
Mr Strauss-Kahn was ordered to pay bail of 100,000 euros, and forbidden to
contact witnesses, the press, and others involved in the case. Mr Leclerc
said he would appeal those conditions and also seek to have the
investigation thrown out.
Text messages sent by Strauss-Kahn to his friends could be the crux of the
legal case, a source close to the investigation told Reuters.
Those messages, which referred to forthcoming soirées and the women who would
be there, might be interpreted as meeting the threshold of complicity in
pandering, the source said.
Under French law, that legal definition is: “helping, assisting, or
protecting prostitution, taking profit from prostitution … hiring,
training or leading someone towards prostitution.”
Opening an official investigation usually, but not always, leads to charges
being filed and a trial taking place.
On Wednesday, Mr Strauss-Kahn’s lawyers are to defend him in a Bronx courtroom
on the first day of a civil trial brought by Nafissatou Diallo, the New York
maid who accused him of raping her in May 2011.
US prosecutors dropped criminal charges, however, saying they had doubts about
Diallo’s credibility, and he returned to Paris.
Attempts to relaunch his career as an economist on the world conference
circuit have been troubled. He gave a speech in China late last year but had
to be bundled into a recent meeting at Britain’s Cambridge University under
heavy security.
Last Tuesday, he cancelled an appearance at an event in Brussels alongside the
Eurogroup’s Jean-Claude Junker following protests from members of the
European Parliament.
