Update: DSK Now In Police Custody; IMF Head Dragged Off A Plane, Arrested Following Hotel Maid Allegations Of Forced Head

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/14/2011 19:10 -0400

Update 2: DSK is now in police custody:

IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn was taken into custody on Saturday at JFK airport in New York and was being questioned in regard to a sexual assault, a New York police spokesman told Reuters.

Spokesman Paul Browne said the woman who filed the complaint against Strauss-Kahn, 62, was a 32-year-old chambermaid who fled the room after the incident.

Strauss-Kahn, a possible Socialist candidate in the French presidential election next April, left the hotel after the incident and boarded an Air France aircraft scheduled to depart for Paris, the police spokesman said.

"The NYPD realized he had fled, he had left his cell phone behind," Browne said. "We learned he was on an Air France plane. They held the plane and he was taken off and is now being held in police custody for questioning."

Browne said Strauss-Kahn had not been charged.

Police said the alleged incident took place at the upscale Sofitel hotel on West 44th Street near Times Square.

The chambermaid "was brought by EMS (emergency medical services) to the Roosevelt Hotel, where she was treated for minor injuries," Brown said.

Strauss-Kahn took over the International Monetary Fund in November 2007. Before that, he was a member of the French National Assembly and a professor of economics at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris.

The IMF declined to comment and board officials said they had not been informed officially of the incident.

In October 2008, Strauss-Kahn apologized for "an error of judgment" in an affair with a subordinate, but denied he had abused his position.

Strauss-Kahn apologized to employees, the woman he had the affair with, Piroska Nagy, and his wife, French television personality Anne Sinclair, for the trouble it had caused.

Update 1: Strauss Khan to be taken to Police Service Area 5 at 221 East 123rd Street

If there was any threat that the IMF would launch an SDR alternative to the USD, it is all over now. According to the NYPost, IMF head Dominique Strauss-Khan (no Bob Pisani, it is not a she) was just arrested on board the first class cabin (thank you taxpayers) of a New York-Paris flight as it was about to take off. And here is where the story gets surreal: "Around noon today, a maid at the hotel [the Sofitel by Times Square] knocked on the door of Strauss-Khan’s room. After letting the maid in, Strauss-Khan allegedly threw the maid on the room’s bed and forced her to perform oral sex on him, said police sources. Strauss-Khan let the maid leave — and soon afterward, headed off to Kennedy Airport for his flight to Paris." Of course this will not be the first sexual misconduct for the head of the world's global pseudo bail out organization: as a reminder back in 2008 the IMF hired a law firm to investigate whether its chief had an improper relationship with a female employee, Piroska Nagy. Back then he got off. This time he won't (even though he did... in a way), and it appears that the IMF is about to lose its head, meaning the fate of literally unlimited bailout funding is now up in the air. Also, it appears that being head of major bureaucracy does not automatically mean getting head on an ad hoc, and involuntary basis. Lastly, we are stunned it was not Herman Von Rompuy or G-Pap on the receiving end.

More from the Post:

His arrest tonight could force him to postpone a planned meeting in Berlin on Sunday with German chancellor Angela Merkel.

Strauss-Khan, a leader of France’s Socialist Party, is the leading rival to President Nicholas Sarkozy in the 2012 election.

Sarkozy was said in a news report yesterday to have begun a smear campaign against his rival that focused on his lavish lifestyle — including Strauss-Khan’s purchase of suits from the same tailor who clothes President Obama.

But Strauss-Khan seems able to find trouble on his own. In 2008, he publicly admitted to "an error of judgment" for having an affair with an IMF subordinate.

In France’s 2007 vote, Strauss-Khan lost the Socialist Party nomination to Segolene Royal, who in turn fell to defeat against Sarkozy, leader of the right-wing Union for a Popular Movement.

But Sarkozy, who still sees Strauss-Khan as his likeliest electoral rival, is believed in France to have maneuvered him out of France by backing him to head the Washington-based International Monetary Fund.

Strauss-Khan is married to New York-born Anne Sinclair, a leading French TV journalist.

Naturally, being in charge of the IMF requires one to be not only a sexual deviant, but a thief:

[Strauss-Khan] was Minister of Economy and Finance from 1997 to 1999, when he resigned to battle charges he was paid for consulting work he never did. But judges decided he really did the work, and prosecutors were forced to admit they had no evidence of fraudulent motive.

Next up: we expect a letter from the IMF disclosing how the world will end if charges are pursued and if, heaven forbid, the IMF head is thrown in jail.

In the meantime, the website of the Smoking Gun must be on fire with one million bored Burssels bureaucrats awaiting the release of the IMF head's mugshot.

Lastly, here is an advance preview of the statement to be released by the IMF head (no pun intended): "If questioned about this matter in the future, I will simply refer the questioner back to this release."

setup. the guy is not stupid enough to rape a maid when he has access to high end escorts who will let him bite, slap and beat the shit out of them while he plunges them silly. even if he did face fuck her it was still a setup. how much you wanna bet a few months ago she was being briefed on her next "assignment" by some guy without a ss#? or, the maid may not even exist and it's all a cover story. obviously, there is alot going on here...

Yes, my country was one of the first successfully infiltrated by the "chosen people". They are between 600,000 and 900,000 today, and every influent journalist/banker in France is Jewish, with very few exceptions.

Most of them are from German and Polonese/Hungarian Askhenazi descent, with a few Sepharadic who mostly work in the entertaining scene.

So you have a ton of pretend wannabe Jews and a few

The Ashkenazi are in no way decendants of Abraham,

They contracted themselves into a tribal adoption long ago, before Jesus Christ.

Incapable of growth,hunger is the mantra that guides them

lust for power, lust and lust and lust.

Evolution, if it were true,escapes them.

France may retrograde to tribalism like all of Europe, in the current decadent spell that bereaves all of the Occident. But it will be an indelible stain, a disgrace to everything in the field of human rights; as expressed in five successive constitutions written since 1789. You guys on this side of the pond don't have to feel proud about your own sorry state...as you roll down that same shameful hill.

OK, here is my first draft of:

Dominique!!!

Dominque, nique, nique
I will tell of Dominique
And of his foibles, too
How he took a little maid,
On the hotel bed he laid
Made her play his wee Kazoo.

I will tell of Dominique and I hope you will sing with
Dominique would sing it also but his Lawyer pleads the Fifth!!!

Dominque, nique, nique
Oh she told on Dominique!
Before he left for France.
Now the cops they made it there.
And they stripped his derriere
Seized his underwear and pants.

But Dominque he told them "Don't you know just who I am?
"I am a world wide banker!" as the the old cell door went "slaaamm!"

Dominque, nique, nique
Oh Mon Dieu! for Dominique
With Bubba in his cell.
Bubba's house was foreclosed on
With a robo-signed ARM loan,
Welcome Dominique to HELL!!!

William is already on the case:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/expd/5721131052/in/photostream/

BTW, in case anyone had any doubts:

Officials of the IMF have diplomatic immunity “with respect to acts performed by them in their official capacity, except when the fund waives this immunity,” the IMF’s bylaws say.

Sun, 05/15/2011 - 01:05 | 1275571 knukles

Well fuck me, with no doubt, assault, battery, rape, forcible sodomy, fleeing the scene of a crime, potentially resisting arrest (Do you know, the "Do you who the fuck I am?" routine after being told to come quietly) are acts performed in line of their official duties.
And BTW, there is no DI under terrorisistic jurisprudence, for which many of the same charges might be leveled. Under the Patriot Act, there are no freedoms, no writ of Habeas Corpus, right to an attorney, right to trial....
Want this fuck? You got him, pure, clean and simple. Off to Bagram, mofo.

He pulls the DI card, he's a goner.
QED

Sun, 05/15/2011 - 01:24 | 1275592 CD

In case this was in question, I am not implying he DESERVES anything, least of all DI. You make interesting points, though -- I am afraid, however that the logical conclusion to them is that NO evidence (let alone wrongdoing) of any kind is required for the "off to Bagram" treatment. I wish such a thing could be instituted for soulless banksters draining the lifeblood of honest humans worldwide, but somehow doubt this kind of policy shift is imminent.

Sun, 05/15/2011 - 14:23 | 1276589 knukles

"NO evidence (let alone wrongdoing) of any kind is required for the "off to Bagram" treatment"

Unfortunately, absolutely true. All's takes is a suspicion, an accusation. Same shit we used to decry in other countries... er, make that same shit we decry in other countries....

As you say, the Fed, the IMF, and the World Bank, are one. The entire plan was designed in 1944 at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, by the world's most prominent socialists "as mechanisms for eliminating gold from world finance." Its hidden agenda? "The building of world socialism."

The IMF is the protege of the Federal Reserve System.

The money manipulators are using the political frames of the Fed, the IMF and World Bank to loot the resources of the world and turn the American republic into a global empire.

That’s what globalization is all about, getting the nations addicted and dependent and then milking them for the benefit of the looters.

As John Perkins writes, they “are high paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortions, sex, and murder. They play a game as old as Empire but one that has taken on terrifying dimensions during this time of globalization.”

Perkins, writing in Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, said such economic international skullduggery has dire consequences for the future of democracy and the world…and can be seen from Mikla’s KOW Fed scenario: “Print dollars to purchase real assets and securities which establishes… [its] ’fundamental value’ as a holder of assets (MBS purchases, POMO, etc.).”

G. Edward Griffin, in Jekyll Island, explains that the IMF/World Bank "would not exist without the flow of American dollars and the benevolence of American leadership."

Says Griffin: The Fed has become an accomplice in the support of totalitarian regimes throughout the world...that is one of the reasons it should be abolished."

For this to get to the police and have them find him so fast, it must have been a setup. Camera in place, victim resisting, police "coincidentally" near enough to hear a commotion. Now the question is, why was Obama or the CIA after this guy. Not that I'm sympathetic. I hope he gets 10 years in "pound me in the ass" prison.

Sat, 05/14/2011 - 23:33 | 1275460 Rynak

No.

The "it happened too fast for it to be true" seems plausible, because when people think about this, they imagine two things:

1. A man fleeing the hotel, driving to an airport, and immediatelly flying away

2. A single police squad following the track up to the airport and then arresting him

Both imaginations are not how this stuff works. As soon as the airport staff gets his name, the jet will not fly. Thus, the only timespans that matter are:

1. The time it takes him to get to the airport, booking the first available jet, doing checkin, boarding the jet, and the jet getting takeoff allowance

2. The girl getting to the police, the police listening to her story, a police patrol being radiod to check the hotel, and then a phonecall to the authorities and airport.

As i see it, time is very close here, but its not impossible or unprobable... just close.

The most ridiculous story I've read in a long time, and the chumps are buying it! Manhatten has a thriving (I've heard) industry of high class hookers, but the head of the IMF is said to have molested a middle aged hotel maid fresh from cleaning toilets instead of consulting his obliging concierge as every other diplomat does in the same situation. It's beyond stupid, it's infantile - something only an infant would rationalise. It only makes sense if DSK is completely insane.

Seems like the usual dirty power struggles among the elite - it does have a very American flavour to the whole sordid, infantile story. Perhaps the IMF wasn't being obliging enough for Washington's policy to print its way out of trouble. Or DSK (Like Gadaffi before him) actually mentioned replacing the XDR with a basket of weighted commodities instead of the four currencies. Whatever. Even if he gets off, we'll probably have a new head of the IMF soon enough.

Sat, 05/14/2011 - 22:56 | 1275416 sgorem

maybe it'll be a carpet muncher so WE can have some fun with that........

Sat, 05/14/2011 - 23:48 | 1275484 YHC-FTSE

Ha! That I would enjoy reading.

Right now, the IMF fixes the value of the SDR in terms of USD daily. The composition of the SDR (XDR) by a weighted system of currency value until 2015 is:

41.9% USD

37.4% EUR

9.4% JPY

11.3% GBP

Notice any "Important" currencies missing? Plenty, right? Even if Canada, China, Brazil, Switzerland, S.Korea, Russia, Australia and other G20 countries were in the basket (Alright CHF isn't in the G20), the system is weighted in favour of the USD simply by the convoluted weighted voting system of the IMF (Of which the US has always enjoyed a controlling percentage that does not reflect its contribution), and by the fact that the SDR is fixed in terms of the USD.

According to Wiki:

"The basket of currencies that values the SDR could be re-evaluated sooner than 2015 if the IMF decides that the current basket no longer reflects "the relative importance of currencies in the world’s trading and financial systems".

I think this may have precipitated the stupid story. I can't think of a quicker way to start a run on the dollar than an announcement by the IMF to re-evaluate the SDR.

Powerful people do stupid things all the time. Much of which can be white washed before it's a big deal.

Sun, 05/15/2011 - 00:01 | 1275497 YHC-FTSE

Sorry, but this is so insane that I can't envisage it happening. May be it's something other people can imagine doing to a hotel maid, but I simply can't. Relative to DSK, my circumstances may have been paltry, but I have been in positions of power, stayed in 5* hotels, and none of those perks ever stimulated me enough to pop my dick into a chambermaid. That's not just criminal and sleazy. It's crazy.
