An appeals court in northern France on Wednesday postponed its ruling in a case in which Dominique Strauss-Kahn and others are suspected of arranging sex parties with prostitutes. The much-anticipated decision will be given on December 19, the court said.
Lawyers for the disgraced former head of the International Monetary Fund have requested that the sex-crimes inquiry – the final outstanding sex crimes probe against him in his home country – be cancelled, claiming that normal investigation procedures were ignored.
Judges in the northern town of Douai are considering evidence in the case known in France as the "Carlton affair<http://www.france24.com/en/20111026-carlton-prostitutes-scandal-strauss-kahn-roquet-paszkowski-lagarde-lille>". It centres around allegations that business leaders and police officials in the city of Lille operated a vice ring supplying prostitutes for sex parties, some of which took place at the Carlton Hotel in the northern city.
