Strauss-Kahn sues NY hotel maid
Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has filed a $1m (£624m) countersuit against the hotel maid who accused him of sexual assault, costing him his job and any chance of being elected president of France. The countersuit was filed on Monday on the anniversary of the incident. Strauss-Kahn denies all wrongdoing in the countersuit and accuses Diallo of “knowingly and intentionally making a false report to law enforcement authorities.”
