Anne Sinclair, Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s wife makes all efforts to defend in court the former director of the IMF, charged with sexual assault, Le Figaro commented in the electronic edition.
This beautiful woman, a former star of French television, suddenly became a victim of a double media disappointment. The first disappointment is that she will never become France’s first lady, even though, in 1997, gave up her career as a journalist to help her husband, then Minister of Finance. A presidential destiny suddenly came to a stop at a police station in Harlem. The second disappointment is that the loving wife faces unprecedented media attention since her husband is accused adultery and he would have sexually assaulted a hotel chambermaid.
If Anne Sinclair had decided to leave permanently Dominique Strauss-Kahn, France would have understood the whole of it. But she did the opposite, choosing to defend Strauss-Kahn against all.
Anne Sinclair has released a statement stating he did not think “not even a second” that her husband is guilty. Sinclair came to New York quickly and announced that she will hire the most competent U.S. attorneys to obtain better conditions of detention and the release of her husband on bail. Without thinking too much, Anne Sinclair has put her considerable wealth in the service of an alleged cheating husband by making the bail of one million dollars, giving a guarantee of five million and bearing all necessary expenses of her husband’s house arrest, which amounts to approximately $200,000 per month.
In the Manhattan court room where Judge Michael Obus has decided to release Strauss-Kahn on bail, Anne Sinclair was barely able to make him a sign that she would kiss her husband.
