IMF Investigates Chief Strauss-Kahn Over Relationship (Update1)

Oct. 18 (Bloomberg) -- International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn is being investigated for possible abuse of his position in connection with a sexual relationship with a subordinate, the fund said.

The investigation focuses on Strauss-Kahn's relationship with Piroska Nagy, wife of former Argentine central bank President Mario Blejer, the Wall Street Journal reported today. Hungarian-raised Nagy was a senior official in the IMF's Africa department at that time, the newspaper reported.
