Strauss-Kahn in Greece: As An Advisor?

There was speculation in Athens on Sept. 28 over the presence in the city of the disgraced former director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
The ex-French finance minister arrived in the Greek capital two days earlier and though he has apparently shied away from the institutions some observers say he may be about to take on the role of government consultant in the crisis-ridden country’s relations with its international creditors, of which the IMF is one.
Others claim Strauss-Kahn has been meeting with the leaders of the parties that make up the ruling coalition, including Premier Antonis Samaras, in view of a controversial new austerity program. Others said they believe that his visit is intended to be a message of “closeness” to Greece, which enjoyed better relations with the IMF under his directorship.
Strauss-Kahn resigned as IMF chief in May 2011 after being arrested on suspicion of attempted sexual assault against a chambermaid in a New York hotel. The case was subsequently dropped due to lack of evidence.
