LONDON (AP) — An employee who had a brief affair with IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn warned the organization about his behavior toward women in a letter sent three years ago.
The person who confirmed the existence of the letter is close to the former International Monetary Fund employee, Hungarian-born economist Piroska Nagy. The person declined to be identified, citing the sensitivity of the matter.
Nagy, who had worked at the IMF for decades, left the organization after the affair with Strauss-Kahn in 2008. An IMF-funded investigation into the affair cleared Strauss-Kahn of wrongdoing but criticized his judgment. The affair back in the news after the 62-year-old Frenchman’s incarceration on sex crimes charges in New York.
Nagy now works with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in London.
