Strauss-Khan questioned for possible prostitution ring ties: Former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Khan, who was forced out of his position amid rape allegations, was taken into custody Tuesday in the French city of Lille. Strauss-Khan was wanted for questioning for “complicity in a prostitution network” and “aiding and abetting in the misappropriation of company assets.” This doesn’t necessarily mean he did anything — police may let him go after 48 hours, or they may renew his custody. The French politician turned himself in Tuesday morning, in efforts to end a “press lynching.” Eight people have already been charged in the wide-ranging prostitution ring. (AP photo)
