Strauss-Kahn sues maid for $1m
Former world finance boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn has made a $1m (€777,000) counter-claim against the New York hotel maid who accused him of sexual assault, saying she seriously damaged his reputation with what he calls a bogus allegation.
The disgraced French politician and former head of the International Monetary Fund said in court papers that the Guinean-born Nafissatou Diallo made a “malicious and wanton false accusation” when she said he attacked her one year ago after she arrived to clean his hotel suite.
