According to a statement on Tuesday which was made available to Reuters, the prosecution service said it acted after a young woman retracted an allegation against the 63-year-old, who is also fighting wider accusations of sexual misdemeanor in France and a civil case in the United States.
Strauss-Kahn’s legal team welcomed what amounted to a partial victory for their client, who has asked a court to end a wider French inquiry into sex parties organized out of the northern city of Lille in which prostitutes took part.
“We are satisfied but the fight goes on,” Richard Malka, a lawyer for Strauss-Kahn, told i>TELE television. “This case is a non-starter and we’ve said its total nonsense from the outset. Now we’re starting to prove it.”
