Follow the IMF Assault Case with Wireless Internet Service

It has all the elements of a suspenseful thriller: a powerful politician, an enormous international investment bank, and a woman who decided to fight back. Unfortunately, this isn't the latest Hollywood summer blockbuster; it's the case of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the head of the International Monetary Fund, who has been charged with attempted rape and other offenses. As this is likely to be an important case with serious repercussions on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, the summer will be full of rumors and gossip on this case you can follow with wireless Internet service.

The International Monetary Fund, also known as the IMF, is already a controversial organization in its own right. The IMF is probably best known for making loans to developing countries, with many critics charging that the IMF imposes economic policies that hurt these countries' poorest residents as a condition of the loans. The fact that the current head of the IMF is a well-known French politician considered to be one of the leading candidates in the upcoming French presidential election, along with the fact that his accuser in this case is a hotel housekeeper, is certainly not helping to dispel the stereotype of the IMF as an organization that runs roughshod over the working class of the countries it supposedly serves.

The details of Strauss-Kahn's arrest are straight from a movie, with the news traveling around the world quickly via mobile broadband and other services. According to the publicly available version of the complaint for this case, Strauss-Kahn was in his enormous New York City hotel suite when a housekeeping employee came in to clean it. The complaint states that Strauss-Kahn locked the door of the suite and then tried to force himself on the employee a number of times. When the employee managed to escape, she ran to the front desk of the hotel, where staff called the police. Strauss-Kahn then departed the hotel for a New York City airport. However, having left his cellular phone in the hotel room, he called hotel staff to retrieve it. Hotel staff informed the police, who relayed the message to Port Authority (New York City airport) police officers, who literally arrested Strauss-Kahn in the first-class cabin of an Air France flight just as the airplane was about to depart. A more intense scene could hardly have been imagined by a screenwriter.

The latest development in the Strauss-Kahn case is that the New York City judge handling the case, Judge Melissa Jackson, has denied bail for Strauss-Kahn, meaning that he remains in New York's Rikers Island prison with more garden-variety criminal defendants. Aside from the sheer salaciousness of the case, wireless Internet connections in France are atwitter, so to speak, with discussions of the implications this may have on the French presidential race. As the details of this case will grow more outrageous every day, mobile broadband service remains a great way to follow all the new gossip as this case works its way through the U.S. courts.
