The former world finance chief accused of rape believed he was the target of a plot organised by Russian PM Vladimir Putin, it was claimed yesterday.
A colleague said Dominique Strauss-Kahn told him the Russians wanted him fired as boss of the International Monetary Fund.
And the 62-year-old Frenchman, facing charges of trying to rape a hotel maid in New York, accused France and Russia of hatching the scheme to stop him running for the French presidency.
French politician Claude Bartolone said Strauss-Kahn made the claim to him last month.
Mr Bartolone said: “He said the Russians, notably Putin, allied themselves with France to try to have him fired from the IMF, to stop him running for president.
“He said by not leaving the IMF ‘cleanly’ he would not be able to announce his candidacy.”
Strauss-Kahn has been charged with rape, sexual abuse and false imprisonment at a hotel on Saturday.
After six nights in custody he has been freed on £600,000 bail.
Strauss-Kahn, who denies the allegations, faces up to 25 years in jail if convicted.
He may also have an HIV test amid claims his alleged victim has the virus.

think this is all about conspiracy because of his position that gives him a full knowledge of the internation economy crises and his intention for running for the presidency of france have made him a potential threat or an obstacle to the continuity of the political decption that amercian people live in. Sarkozy is the right (fool) man and haven’t yet finish his project of supporting Obama and in all his political agenda full of lies.otherwise if it is not about conspiracy why would they lie to the population?

If Powerful men like DSK can be manipulated then what about us? The real question is what to believe and what not to believe…The Fourth Estate has lost its credibility time and again . Only DSK & the said maid happen to be the persons in the know of the truth. Is it possible to rewind & scan their memory ? Jai Ho !

I DID NOT KNOW PUTIN HAS A SUCH GIGANTIC POWER……STILL…..
@ Ricardo Santos
Yes, the damage is already done, I agree. But if he manages to get off the hook and he IS guilty?!? Well that just blatently shows how corrupt the system is. I do not want to live in a world where money and power can get you out of any situation. I want equality!! People with power need to know that they can’t just f*** around, especially in the case of sexual abuse.
There is no way of knowing if he is innocent or guilty. But, is it really relevant?
In this world image is more important than reality. Even if he is innocent, the damage is already done.
but if he was´nt the way he was he would not have succumbed to “temptation” little people in big positions what do you expect… would you have fared better…?
But the possible conspiracy can’t be an excuse for his behaviour. There are so many people now who talk about Kahn’s sexual affairs that it’s imposible to believe he is innocent.
Maybe Kahn takes it up the backway too.
The jew never stop telling lies
:oops: The Devil made him do it?
