French public prosecutors have dropped an investigation into allegations that embarrassed ex   IMF boss,  Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a man who was once predicted to become president of France, had engaged in group rape.


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.”
