Strauss Kahn’s wife kicks husband out of home

11:27 • 29.06.12



The long-suffering wife of Dominique Strauss-Kahn has finally left him, it was confirmed last night.

After months of loyal support in the face of seedy vice allegations, Anne Sinclair kicked the former International Monetary Fund boss out of their Paris home, The Daily Mail reported.
 

The split happened a month ago but Ms Sinclair, a 64-year-old art heiress and internet journalist, initially managed to keep it quiet.


But as the now unemployed Strauss-Kahn, 63, prepared for further court appearances, he confirmed the separation.


‘They are no longer living as man and wife,’ said a source close to Sinclair, who at one stage was being tipped to become Socialist president of France.


Instead his career was ruined when, in May 2011, a New York chamber maid accused him of attempted rape.


He was later cleared in a criminal court, but admitted that a sex act had taken place, and the maid is now pursuing a civil case against him.


Sinclair, who has been with Strauss-Kahn for 20 years, initially offered him unquestioning support but this began to waver as allegations mounted up.


They included a French writer saying that Strauss-Kahn had tried to rape her in a Paris flat.


Then prosecutors opened an investigation into a vice ring based in northern France in which Mr Strauss-Kahn is implicated.


Highly-paid young prostitutes said to have travelled to cities like Paris to take part in ‘sex parties’ with Mr Strauss-Kahn and other men.


There is even a particularly serious allegation that Mr Strauss-Kahn gang raped one of the women in a hotel inWashington DC.


Also under investigation are: Jean-Christophe Lagarde, a former police chief from Lille ; David Roquet, head of a subsidiary of the Eiffage building giant ; and another businessman called Fabrice Paszkowski , who is said to have regularly exchanged SMS text messages with Mr Strauss-Kahn.


Strauss-Kahn, in turn, has told police that there was ‘no brutality’ involved in any of the orgies, and that he did not even know the women were vice girls.
