IMF Fat Cat Beats Rap, Because Strauss-Kahn

NEW YORK (AP) — A person familiar with the investigation tells The Associated Press that the Manhattan district attorney's office will agree to release Dominique Strauss-Kahn without bail.

The former head of the International Monetary Fund has been free on $1 million bail under house arrest.

The person was not authorized to speak publicly and talked to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Releasing him without bail signals that the accusations of sexual assault may be less serious than thought. A judge must sign off before Strauss-Kahn can be released.

The move comes after a person familiar with the case told the AP that prosecutors raised serious questions about the credibility of the hotel housekeeper accusing Strauss-Kahn. See Comments
