Dominique Strauss-Kahn Moved to 'Luxurious' New York Townhouse

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been moved to a four-bedroom townhouse in Manhattan where he will remain under house arrest as he awaits trial in his sexual assault case.


The former IMF boss and French presidential contender was seen smiling as he got into a grey sport utility vehicle under tight security.

He was moved about a mile from the penthouse where he had been staying to a stately red brick town home in the fashionable Tribeca district.

The building, which has five bathrooms, is located on a cobblestone street in one of Manhattan's most exclusive neighbourhoods. It also is close to the courthouse where he will attend hearings.

William Taylor, his lawyer, said he was "doing fine" under house arrest.

"Not much he can do," Mr Taylor said. » | Thursday, May 26, 2011
