All four episodes of Room 2806: The Accusation are available to stream and download on Netflix now. The docuseries concluded in 2015 and viewers are curious to know more about Dominque Strauss Kahn (DSK) today. Express.co.uk has everything you need to know.
Where is Dominque Strauss Kahn today?
Dominque Strauss Kahn was once considered a likely candidate for the French presidency.
He previously served as the former head of the International Monetary Fund from 2007 until 2011, and France’s Finance Minister from 1997 until 1999.
But in 2011, he lost his foot in the 2012 French presidential running and resigned as head of the IMF after he was charged with sexually assaulting a maid at the Sofitel Hotel in New York City.
Nafissatou Diallo, who appears in the Netflix documentary, recalls her alleged sexual encounter in detail with DSK in detail on May 14, 2011.

DSK was charged with sexual assault and attempted rape of 32-year-old Diallo and he pleaded not guilty on June 6, 2011.
However, the case was later dismissed on the recommendation of the District Attorney office, due to doubts surrounding the victim’s credibility and inconclusive physical evidence.
DSK was released from house arrest on July 1 and returned to France shortly afterwards.
He later reached a settlement with Diallo for an undisclosed amount over the civil suit.
As seen in the documentary, other women came forward with numerous allegations of sexual misconduct, including journalist Tristane Banon who alleged DSK attempted to rape her.
In October 2011, French public prosecutors dropped the investigation into Banon’s case.
Just two years later, French prosecutors announced that Strauss-Kahn was to stand trial concerning allegations of aggravated pimping at the Carlton hotel in Lille.
He was acquitted of the charges on June 12, 2015.
DSK has always denied all sexual misconduct charges against him and claimed his encounter with Diallo in New York was ‘consensual’ and a ‘moral failure’ in an interview with French media in 2011.
Since then, however, the 71-year-old has kept his private life out of the spotlight and very little is known about him today.

Since 2012, DSK has mainly worked in economic roles in Eastern Europe and other countries across the globe.
In July 2013, he was appointed to the board of the Russian Regional Development Bank and the Russian Direct Investment Fund.
In September 2013, CNN reported DSK was appointed to the position of economic adviser to the Serbian government and also played a role in setting up South Sudan’s National Credit Bank.
DSK is believed to have returned to lecturing in Asia in 2014.
He split from his wife, journalist Anne Sinclar in 2012 and was spotted with new partner PR executive Myriam L’Aouffir at the Cannes Festival in 2013.
L’Aouffir and DSK are believed to still be together today and are reported to have married in 2017.
DSK declined to feature in the Netflix documentary but on Friday, December 4, he announced in a tweet there would be a separate documentary which will ‘tell his version of events for the first time’.
He told his 60,000 followers in a lengthy post: “For the first time, I have agreed to make a documentary film in which I look back over my entire personal and professional history from French politics to the international spheres.
“This film, currently in production, recalls the events that have marked my life and will be released in the fall of 2021.
“I have never given my own version of events that marked my withdrawal from political life; others have made it for me, speaking from press releases, interviews and real or supposed facts. The time has come for me to speak out.
“Beyond the different personal, political and media episodes of my life, I share in this film my concerns and my proposals on the difficult future that awaits us.”
Express.co.uk will update this article when more information about DSK’s documentary is available.
