When it happened to former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn and since DSK has a reputation for being something of a womaniser I took the reports at face value.
But it has happened a second time just 3 weeks later and again against a foreign banker – 74 years old – and with the same kind of allegations and again with the New York police involved. Since I don’t think hotel maids in New York are all that naive or that New York police are particularly gullible I begin to think they probably have a deal going with selected hotel maids and they probably also have a “hit” list of ageing foreign bankers ( business men?) to be shaken down !!!
The former chairman of one of Egypt’s major banks has been arrested on charges of sexually abusing a maid at a Manhattan hotel, just weeks after the arrest of former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn on similar allegations.
Police say Mahmoud Abdel Salam Omar was arrested at the Pierre Hotel on Monday morning.
The 74-year-old businessman is accused of sexually abusing the maid and holding her against her will inside his hotel room.
Police say the incident happened Sunday night.
Police spokesman Paul Browne says detectives found the complainant to be credible.
