– ‘King of the party’ –
Their probe found that DSK was the “king of the party,” and they are seeking to prove his mere presence gave rise to prostitution as his entourage organised the evenings according to his schedule.
Those attending the gatherings described “carnage with a heap of mattresses on the floor”, with DSK the focus of several women at a time in an atmosphere more of “pure sexual consummation” than a typical swinger’s party.
The first to take the stand among the 14 accused on Tuesday will be the Carlton’s former public relations manager Rene Kojfer who is accused of organising prostitutes for “well-connected men”, often setting them up in his hotel.
He is also accused of doing publicity for another accused, a pimp who owns a string of brothels near the French border in Belgium, where rules are more lax.
Dominique Alderweireld, nicknamed “Dodo la Saumure” – which loosely translates as Dodo the Mackerel, the French slang for pimp – is accused of procuring prostitutes for Kojfer, some of whom were employed at the orgies attended by DSK.
Strauss-Kahn himself will be cross-examined from February 10.
