A French politician claims she was warned not to meet with Dominique Strauss-Kahn in a Paris apartment because the “satyr” may have attacked other women there.
Aurelie Filippetti, a politician from Lorraine, France, was questioned Friday by Paris police.
The police are investigating allegations from French writer Tristane Banon, 32, that the former head of the International Monetary Fund ripped off her clothes and jeans and tried to rape her during a 2003 interview in his Paris apartment.
Police looked at e-mail exchanges between Filippetti and Banon’s mother, Anne Mansouret, written shortly after the alleged attack, the French newspaper Le Figaro reported.
Strauss-Kahn, a former leading presidential contender for the Socialist Party, is facing criminal charges in New York over the alleged attempted rape of a hotel chambermaid in May. He denies the allegations.
