Dominique Strauss Khan gives his version of the facts on the case known as the Carlton

A bit special welcoming committee for Dominique Strauss-Kahn on Tuesday morning at Lille Criminal Court.

Besides throwing insults against the former IMF chief, activists of Femen threw themselves at his car.

Prosecuted for aggravated procuring alongside 13 other accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn came to the Magistrates Court for a hearing on the case known as the Carlton.

He is accused of being the primary beneficiary and organizer of "libertine parties" which would be held in Lille, Paris or Washington and that many prostitutes have participated. And that is the central issue of this case. DSK-he knew that these women were or were not professional?

Tuesday morning, at the hearing, Dominique Strauss-Kahn stayed right in his boots, "I did not know that the guests were prostitutes," said he said.

DSK will have two days to try to clear himself at the helm. He faces 10 years in prison and a fine of 1.5 million euros.
