Having it off with supermodels and not-so-super chambermaids.

Oh and by the way: DSK-Bartolone-Hollande-Muscat.

UBS was already in trouble and had paid a heavy fine in the US.

How perverse is that? It was then that he passed it on to the French finance ministry, at the time headed by Christine Lagarde (Strauss Kahn’s polar opposite, if ever there was one).

She’s a capitalist with a conscience, and that was when the government-to-government information sharing started.

Switzerland demanded that the French government hand the information back, and eventually it did (after the election of a “Socialist” president, hooray hooray). Lagarde was by then IMF chief and there was nothing she could do.
