First hearing for Strauss-Kahn: 'I am innocent'

First hearing today for Dominique Strauss-Kahn: he pleaded not guilty before the criminal court of New York.
Thus began the trial against the former director general of the International Monetary Fund, who risks from 25 years in prison to 18 years. The next hearing is set for July XNUMX.
   Strauss-Kahn is accused of assaulting and raping a maid in the room of one of the most luxurious hotels in New York. He is currently under house arrest in the same city. Today he presented himself, visibly exhausted, on the arm of his wife Anne Sinclair, who attended the hearing by settling in the front row. Upon their arrival at the courthouse the couple was covered in the boos of new maids shouting "criminal".
