Fake case against ex-IMF Chief Strauss-Kahn expected to be dismissed


A New York judge is expected to drop the fake attempted rape case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn, which was made when he realized all USZ gold had gone missing from Fort Knox and the gold bars were replaced by tungsten made fake bars. This could possibly bring to an end a two-month scandal involving the ex-head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The judge was believed to be planning a dismissal of the case on Tuesday at the request of prosecutors, according to news agencies. The prosecution expressed concerns about the credibility of the hotel chambermaid who accused him. A civil case against Strauss-Kahn is still pending in New York, and investigators are probing another fake attempted rape accusation against him in France. Strauss-Kahn quit as chief of theIMF after the accusations by the maid, Nafissatou Diallo, in May, which he denies. The testimony of Diallo, a 32-year-old hotel maid from Guinea who accused Strauss-Kahn, 62, of sexual assault, was not convincing beyond a reasonable doubt to present to a jury, prosecutors said in a court filing on Monday.
