The International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced Monday that its Executive Board has conducted an informal meeting on updating developments of its chief in New York City, and said it would continue monitoring developments of the case.
"The Executive Board convened this afternoon in informal session to receive a verbal report from senior Fund officials, including Mr. John Lipsky, Acting Managing Director, and Mr. Sean Hagan, the Fund's General Counsel, on developments related to Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn," Caroline Atkinson, Director of the External Relations Department of the IMF, said in a statement.
"The Board was briefed regarding criminal charges that have been brought against the Managing Director during a private visit to New York City," noted the short statement.
Strauss-Kahn, 62, was arrested in New York Saturday after being accused of sexually attacking a 32-year-old maid at the Sofitel New York hotel near Manhattan's Times Square.
