Verdict in Strauss-Kahn trial set for June

He’ll learn June 12 whether investigative magistrates accepted his version. A verdict by the Lille court will be read on that date.

The onetime contender for the French presidency has denied investigators’ accusations that he organized or encouraged sex parties involving prostitutes.

“For the first time, throughout these last hearings, I felt I could explain myself and I have the feeling I have been listened to,” Strauss-Kahn said.

A judgment in the case could come “within months,” Fevre’s spokeswoman, Maud Perraudeau, said Tuesday.
