Paris, Sept 5 (ANI): Former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who has been in the US since May, has returned to Paris less than two weeks after charges of him sexually assaulting a New York hotel maid were dropped.
The case was dropped last month at the request of prosecutors who had concerns about hotel maid Nafissatou Diallo's credibility.
It has been claimed the Guinean-born hotel maid lied on her application for asylum, the Sky News reports.
He arrived in the French capital after taking an overnight Air France flight from JFK Airport.
It is the first time he has returned home since his arrest in May.
In a statement, Strauss-Kahn described the last four months as a 'terrible and unjust ordeal', and he said he intends 'to express himself at greater length' at a later date.
Although the criminal case against him in New York has now been dropped, Strauss-Kahn still faces legal challenges.
The maid who accused him of sexual assault and attempted rape is suing him in a civil suit, while the French journalist Tristane Banon has filed a criminal complaint, claiming that the French politician tried to rape her in 2003. (ANI)
