AFP - Lawyers for Dominique Strauss-Kahn called for a wealth of information at the Sofitel in the context of civil proceedings commenced in New York against the DSK maid Nafissatou Diallo. According to court documents released Wednesday, they assigned the Sofitel particular, for any account of any statements made could have done Nafissatou Diallo, written or oral, on the alleged assault. They claim all available information on inputs and outputs of the suite occupied by May 14 the former head of the IMF, the details of the schedule and assignments Diallo between January 1 and March 31, 2011, and "all documents which may refer to the alleged sexual assault."

They require any account made of all statements that could have been made by employees, customers or others in connection with Dominique Strauss-Kahn or the alleged sexual assault. The Sofitel must also provide details of telephone calls from room 2820, Mrs. Diallo had cleaned 14 May in which she would be returned after the alleged assault. The Sofitel has objected to some of these claims, arguing they were too vague, ambiguous, they were looking for information not relevant to civil proceedings, or inverse document already sent some back for more.

DSK's lawyers have given 20 days to run at the Sofitel, a delay also considered too short by the lawyers of the Sofitel. On September 26, Dominique Strauss-Kahn called for the classification of civil procedure initiated by Ms Diallo for damages. His lawyers argued that it enjoyed full immunity as head of the IMF at the time. This request has "no value", countered arguments Monday in a long Nafissatou Diallo's lawyers, saying that Mr. Strauss-Kahn could not invoke immunity.
