Carlton Affair : The defense of Dominique Strauss-Kahn

The hearing of Dominique Strauss-Kahn was completed thursday before the Lille criminal court without the defense line of the former director of the International Monetary Fund, which denies any pimping truly undermined.
Believed to have been "the instigator" of encounters with prostitutes organized between 2008 and 2011 by his friends in Lille, Paris, Brussels and Washington, DSK denies being the source of the thin parts in which he participated and said he had never known the quality of the participants.
The judges particularly against him the provision of an apartment in Paris and SMS exchanges show, prosecutors said, he favored the establishment of a "system" to "meet its sexual needs".
"It doesn't make sense", said thursday Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who appeared very calm on the last day of his hearing, while president scanned the some 37 SMS the record.
"I solicited anything", he added, just grateful to have "stalled dates" with his friend Fabrice Paszkowski, alleged organizer of these meetings.
But the word "material" is used only once, he adds, noting that in SMS, "it's easy to loose". Another term "unfortunate", that of "sex trade" appears in the folder, then tells the president. "I heard in the old sense of the word", replied Dominique Strauss-Kahn, admitting a choice "unwelcome".
The former economy minister claims to have been "invited" to these evenings by Fabrice Paszkowski, who would have hidden it the status of women "to make her happy", he who "horror" of the tariffed relationships, recognizing sexuality more "rude" than average. Fabrice Paszkowski and David Roquet, another organizer of fine particles, have also said that Dominique Strauss-Kahn was unaware of the presence of prostitutes.
DSK swept thursday the act "material" pimping which he is charged with the Paris apartment where he was in fact tenant through a legal arrangement.
"Why concealing that he was the tenant ?" asked the president. "I'm a married politician, so I need to receive discretely politicians, but also, let us say, for personal meetings", he has said. "I don't want anyone to know, so I do rent from a friend, it's as simple as that".
So why lying to investigators when they asked him if he actually occupied the place, the lawyer asks a civil party? "It might surprise you, master, because I'm still married to that point".

The court will now examine the financial aspects of the case before the arguments of the plaintiffs, monday, and the submissions of the prosecutor on tuesday. 
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of 1.5 million euros for aggravated procuring, should return to attend the trial starting monday. The prosecution had asked for a dismissal against him.
Fourteen peoples have continued in this folder, which started around suspected of procuring Lille in several institutions, including the Carlton Hotel. 

"I think the french society opened the eyes on prostitution, and there will be a before and after the trial", said thursday Mr. Emmanuel Daoud, council of a civil party.

The judgment should be reserved judgment at the end of next week.
