Trial over Dominique Strauss-Kahn: conspiracy or crime?
Europe keeps being shocked with various scandals, which have a negative impact on the image of the European Union and its national currency. Apart from the debt problems of Greece, Ireland and Portugal and the disputes over the Schengen Agreement, there is another major shock: arrest of the famous French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who used to be the Managing Director of the IMF.
This unpleasant situation has a few peculiarities, which intensify its importance in the eyes of the global community:
1. 62-year-old Dominique Strauss-Kahn was the IMF head at the moment of his arrest
2. He was arrested in New York, USA. He is accused of attempted rape, which means that under the US Law he may be sentenced to many (up to 70!) years of imprisonment if he is found guilty. Anyway, his political career was destroyed when he was arrested. That is the specifics of sexual scandals, which have recently been the most efficient weapons against politicians of any level.
3. The Russian-based “Interfax” news agency has found an interesting fact: Strauss-Kahn’s arrest took place a day before he was to meet with Angela Merkel to finally solve the EU’s debt problem, which literary drowns the EU and its currency. A question arises: was it a coincidence or was someone interested in undermining the debt problem solution?
Is Strauss-Kahn really guilty of the crime?
