French prosecutors have opened
a preliminary fraud inquiry targeting former IMF chief Dominique
Strauss-Kahn, French media say.
The case centres on an investment firm, LSK, which
Strauss-Kahn chaired until it went bankrupt a year ago.
The investigation was launched in July after a shareholder
filed a complaint, the media reports say.
Strauss-Kahn resigned as IMF chief in 2011 after being
accused of attempted rape in the US.
Those charges were later dropped, but another scandal
followed in France. It ended in June when he was acquitted of
procuring prostitutes for sex parties.
