IMF Has a New Director: Christine Lagarde Has Been Nominated. DSK May Be Set Free. Nafissatou Dialo's $100,000 From Convicted Drug Dealer

Jul 1, 2011

French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde was appointed this week and will start work Tuesday.  She replaces DSK who has been embroiled in a sex scandal since May 14, 2011.  However, according to various reports, the case against him may crumble as the prosecutors start doubting the credibility of Nafissatou Dialo, the Sofitel Chambermaid who accused the ex-director of IMF.  According to the New York Times, a convicted drug dealer has been sending cash to Mme Diallo's bank account, totalling $100,000 over a few years.  Futhermore, she was caught talking to somebody on a recorder about how much money she stands to make from the DSK case.
