Immunité

D'innombrables blogs ont mentionné que le FMI confère bien une immunité diplomatique, mais cela concernerait des accusations dans l'exercice de leurs fonctions et ne s'appliquerait pas ici :

SECTION 13
Representatives of members at meetings convened by a specialized agency shall, while exercising their functions and during their journeys to and from the place of meeting, enjoy the following privileges and immunities:
(a) Immunity from personal arrest or detention and from seizure of their personal baggage, and in respect of words spoken or written and all acts done by them in their official capacity, immunity from legal process of every kind;
(b) Inviolability for all papers and documents;
(c) The right to use codes and to receive papers or correspondence by courier or in sealed bags;
(d) Exemption in respect of themselves and their spouses from immigration restrictions, aliens’ registration or national service obligations in the State which they are visiting or through which they are passing in the exercise of their functions;
(e) The same facilities in respect of currency or exchange restrictions as are accorded to representatives of foreign Governments on temporary official missions;
(f) The same immunities and facilities in respect of their personal baggage as are accorded to members of comparable rank of diplomatic missions.

D'après Sexus Politicus (2006) de Christophe Deloire et Christophe Dubois, un livre sans grand intérêt qui consacrait un chapitre entier à Dominique Strauss-Kahn, dans des affaires passées en France, ce serait le Parti socialiste et le secrétaire François Hollande qui devaient intervenir pour demander que certaines personnes harcelées ne déposent pas plainte (Banon était la fille d'une élue locale PS et selon le livre, Hollande en aurait parlé ses parents - sa mère Anne Mansouret a d'ailleurs annoncé qu'elle comptait se présenter aux Primaires socialistes).

Mais cela ne vaut plus la peine d'en parler tant que DSK n'aura pas été jugé.
