Vladimir Putin Alludes DSK Was Framed
Vladimir Putin
Vladimir Putin, current Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, became on Monday the first highest-ranked politician to allude to the possibility that the case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn could be more complicated than the press released.
Putin told Interfax news agency that the case against DSK is more than “what meets the eye,” and that he found it hard to believe the charges brought against him. He added he feared the former head of the IMF was subjected to a plot intended to discredit him.

Putin told Daily Telegraph that “things don’t sit right in my head,” referring to the DSK case, but he admitted he didn’t have all the data as to what happened, nor did he want to get into the details.
A few days ago a French politician, the Socialist Claude Bartolone, party colleague of DSK, said that he had heard the latter saying that Putin wanted to oust him.
He said that the Russia’s Putin had allied himself with the French president to determine DSK not to candidate for a term in the presidential office of France.
Putin made a very sarcastic comment on the charges against Moshe Katzav, former president of Israel, accused and sentenced to seven years in prison for rape, as the process was at the beginning a few years ago.
He was the president of Russia back then, and said that he envied Katzav’s sexual prowess, a joke that caused much unrest in Israel and had to be excused as a mistranslation.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn was released on bail and is to be judged for rape, sexual abuse and false imprisonment.
Since he was arrested, conspiracy theories were launched, most of them converging on the conclusion that what happened to him was too convenient, given that elections in France are coming soon, and he was shown by polls as the potential winner.
