Dominique Strauss-Kahn pimping case to proceed His defence lawyers accuse the investigating judges in the case of being biased. In a statement, lawyer Henri Leclerc claimed the charges against Mr Strauss-Kahn were not specified, that some evidence was hidden from the defence team, facts were twisted and definitions of the legal term "pimping" were created with no basis in law. "Dominque Strauss-Kahn's defence team is certain that he will ultimately be cleared of these absurd accusations of pimping," lawyer Henri Leclerc said in a statement. The lawyer added that he planned to take the matter to the supreme court. The decision removes the prospect of a quick conclusion to the last inquiry Mr Strauss-Kahn faces. He returned to France last year after criminal charges were dropped in the Diallo case, but quickly faced similar accusations of sexually abusing a young French writer. When those allegations were also dropped, Mr Strauss-Kahn was hit in March with preliminary charges of "aggravated procurement in an organised gang" in an investigation into a hotel prostitution ring in nearby Lille that was said to involve prominent city figures and police. His lawyer Richard Malka has described Mr Strauss-Kahn as "simple swinger." He is formally under "judicial control" on £85,000 bail until judges decide whether to send him to stand trial.
