The big question in the trial of Carlton DSK is he a pimp?

From hotel to hotel, the Sofitel New York in Lille Carlton, Dominique Strauss-Kahn returns by the trial box. The former Socialist minister and former director of the International Monetary Fund had made a brief appearance at the helm of the Lille Criminal Court on February 2, but this time it will stay in the dock for two days and a half. Prosecuted for aggravated procuring, it is sort of the "biggest attraction" of the trial. Women activists of the movement Femen it is it right: three of them, with only their bare breasts as weapons, threw themselves on the DSK car on arrival at court. They have had time to shout "Macs, clients reported guilty" before being taken away by police.

Then Dominique Strauss-Kahn was the first to sit in the courtroom. Among the 13 other defendants, it is particularly alongside his friends in the North of France, whom the judges will look closely Tuesday. The little libertine circle consists of David Roquet, a former director of a subsidiary of Eiffage, Fabrice Paszkowski, a contractor, and Jean-Christophe Lagarde, a police officer. The prosecution agrees that DSK has probably never had to pay one of the prostitutes recruited by the group to "animate" warm evenings held in Lille, Paris and even in Washington. It was to please the "life of the party", but for the prosecution, it is impossible that DSK did not know that the participants were not libertine women, but many "escort girls" who prostituted. The accused have denied again before the court in the late morning.

That's the whole point of this trial: is the line of defense, which asserts that DSK is a follower of debauchery and not prostitution, will hold? "It's really us believe that it is naive", has already launched one of the prostitutes brought to testify, who calls Jade. Other colleagues have described the party as the "slaughter" of "pure sexual consumption," nothing to do with appointments libertines. During the hearing, the brilliant economist, now an international speaker, will be faced with the harsh reality these women ... Aged 65, Dominique Strauss-Kahn faces up to ten years in prison and a million and a half 'euro fine.
