Strauss-Kahn resigned as head of the IMF

NEW YORK  - the Monetary Fund International said Dominique Strauss-Kahn resigned his accusations following heads against him of sexual assault and attempted rape.


"I deny in the strongest possible all the allegations made against me," Strauss-Kahn, said in his letter of resignation, which was published by the IMF and dated May 18. "."


"I want to devote all my strength, all my time and my energy to prove my innocence."


It will be on Thursday for a second application of time free on $ 1 million cash bail and placement monitored 24 hours while he awaits trial on charges of attempted rape of a servant of the hotel, his lawyers said. He is detained in the notorious Rikers Island prison in New York. Spokesman of Office of the Attorney of District of Manhattan Erin Duggan "Yes it will be certainly a security tomorrow," said Reuters Wednesday.


Arrest of Strauss-Kahn has crushed his chances to run for French President in 2012 and raised more general questions on the future of the Monetary Fund International.


Developing countries questioned Europe hold on first place in the IMF, and manoeuvres to replace him has already begun.


TIMELINE EMERGES


New details emerged Wednesday about the sequence of events surrounding the alleged sexual assault on the servant. Strauss-Kahn left the Sofitel near Times Square in Manhattan to 12: 30 pm EDT on Saturday, and about an hour later, the hotel security called police to report a sexual assault, said a source from the application of the law.


The European Commission President José Manuel Barroso, said that Europe would be naturally presented a candidate to replace Strauss-Kahn, should he resign.
