IMF’s Strauss-Kahn agrees to electronic monitoring, house arrest in hope of release
International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn has offered to submit to electronic monitoring of his movements and 24-hour-a-day house arrest at his daughter’s apartment in New York in an effort to end his confinement at Rikers Island jail while awaiting trial on sexual assault charges.
In addition to offering a $1 million cash bail, the embattled IMF chief proposed the electronic monitoring and “home detention” in a plea for release filed by his attorneys in New York Supreme Court on Wednesday.
