BBC News: Reports that Mr Strauss-Kahn, the head of the IMF, is in New York Court to face charges of an assault on a Maid at his Hotel. Although this blog will not discuss the details of the case, it is old fashioned in that way, it will report on the press circus around the case. The general opinion one gets from French reporters when asked about this case is shock , due to the strict privacy laws in France they don’t have these kind of scandals. Almost one gets the impression of French arrogance, how can this important men be held, it would not happen in France, yes that kind of disdain folks. The pivotal point in many respects is the fact that DSK is head of the IMF at the time of massive bailouts for Greece, Ireland and Portugal and that he was the likely next President of France, thus an attack and money, the press will be all over the case. The Americans to their credit will play this by the book, one thing this blog can state is that DSK will get a fair trial, it might not be short but fair.
