Judges have confirmed that Dominique Strauss-Kahn will face a pimping inquiry, despite an appeal from the former presidential candidate’s legal team on Wednesday morning.
Mr Strauss-Kahn and four other men are accused of knowing fraudulently obtained money was being paid to the vice girls by a prostitution racket based in Lille, northern France, according to the Telegraph.
Mr Strauss-Kahn admitted attending sex-parties in Lille but denies knowing that some of the women were prostitutes.
Defending his legal client, Henri Leclerc said: "I challenge you to distinguish a naked prostitute from any other naked woman.”
