The fall and ordeal of IMF’s Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn in pictures

“A New York court will hear a fresh request on Thursday to release IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn from custody on bail after he was charged with trying to rape a hotel maid. Strauss-Kahn has been held at New York’s Rikers Island jail since Monday, when a judge denied an earlier request from his lawyer to free him on a $1 million bond. Strauss-Kahn had been considered a leading contender for the French presidency.” -Reuters
