Ex-IMF chief moving to new apartment in New York

FORMER IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn will move to a new apartment, where he will remain under around-the-clock armed guard on charges he tried to rape a hotel maid, after a judge approved his plans yesterday.

"The judge received a phone call from the parties and they have agreed to a new location," said New York State Courts spokesman David Bookstaver.

Bookstaver said he did not know where Strauss-Kahn was moving to or when he would move.

Strauss-Kahn was released on US$1 million cash bail and US$5 million insurance bond on Friday and taken temporarily to an apartment in Lower Manhattan after attempts to rent a luxury apartment elsewhere in the city fell through.

Strauss-Kahn, who spent four nights last week at New York's notorious Rikers Island jail, has denied charges of a criminal sexual act, attempted rape, sexual abuse, unlawful imprisonment and forcible touching. He is due back in court on June 6.
