Dominique Strauss-Kahn acquitted of “aggravated pimping”

The former International Monetary Fund chief and French presidential candidate Dominique Strauss-Kahn was acquitted by a French court Friday of charges of procuring prostitutes for sex parties in France, Belgium and the US. The verdict ended four years of legal proceedings against Strauss-Kahn and a scandal which forced to him to leave his IMF job and French public life. Most of his 13-co-defendants were also acquitted of “aggravated pimping.” Strauss-Kahn walked free after the prosecutor admitted that his guilt was not established by the evidence.
