Kahn yupo rumande katika gereza la Shivers.
MKURUGENZI Mkuu wa Shirika la Fedha la Kimataifa (IMF), Dominique Strauss-Kahn, amejiuzulu.
Kahn amesema amesema, anaondoka IMF lakini hana hatia kwa mashitaka yanayomkabili.
Kwa mujibu wa Kahn, wakati huu anamfikiria zaidi mkewe ambaye anampenda kuliko kitu chochote, wanawe, familia yake na rafiki zake.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn maintained his innocence in a formal letter to the organisation and said he was quitting with "infinite sadness".
"I think at this time first of my wife - whom I love more than anything - of my children, of my family, of my friends," he said.
"I think also of my colleagues at the fund - together we have accomplished such great things over the last three years and more.
"To all, I want to say that I deny with the greatest possible firmness all of the allegations that have been made against me."
The 62-year-old French citizen - who had been a strong contender for the country's presidency in 2012 - added he would devote "all my strength, all my time, and all my energy" to proving his innocence.
There had been widespread speculation over the future of Strauss-Kahn after he was arrested following the alleged attack at the Sofitel hotel in New York at the weekend.
He faced growing pressure to quit as further claims about his private life emerged – including allegations by writer Tristane Banon that he attempted to rape her in 2002.
He is due at a fresh hearing today, where his lawyers will propose $1m bail – which was earlier refused by a judge – and electronic tagging. He has also waived his extradition rights.
Strauss-Kahn is reportedly on suicide watch at New York's Rikers Island prison, although he is not believed to have attempted to harm himself.
His lawyer, William W Taylor, said on Wednesday that his client's mood was "serious but good".
"He is a strong man and he's committed to seeing this through," he added.
