Strauss-Kahn lawyers see alibi in sex case: report
(Reuters) - Lawyers for Dominique Strauss-Kahn have proof the IMF chief
was at a restaurant having lunch with his daughter at the time he was
alleged to be sexually assaulting a hotel maid, France's RMC radio
reported on Monday.
and found that he left the hotel at midday, after paying his bill and handing
in his key, then went to eat with his daughter and took a taxi to the airport.
The schedule meant he had already left the hotel at the time the maid
alleged he chased her down a corridor, forced her into a room and
assaulted her, RMC reported on its website, adding that the lawyers had
material evidence and witnesses.
Strauss-Kahn, a center-left former finance minister whom polls had
tipped as the likely frontrunner to win France's 2012 presidential
election, will appear in court on Monday. The case has sent shockwaves
around the world.
His lawyers have said he will plead not guilty to charges of a criminal
sexual act, unlawful imprisonment and attempted rape, which threaten
to bring a humiliating end to his career as International Monetary Fund
managing director.
The radio did not cite its sources.
