New York, May 17 (PTI) International Monetary Fund pays for all business-related hotel bills of its chief, but incumbent Dominique Strauss Kahn's stay in a luxury suite of Sofitel here does not qualify for any such reimbursement.
It was during his stay at this Sofitel hotel that Kahn, who was appointed IMF Managing Director in 2007 with a salary in excess of USD 5,00,000 per year, was accused of indulging in sexual assault on a chambermaid.
As per the terms of his appointment, IMF reimburses all the hotel expenses incurred by Kahn for his "travel in the interest of the Fund".
However, after his infamous hotel stay here, IMF clarified that he was staying there on a private business and Sofitel was as such not on the approved list of hotels for stay of the Fund's staff.
