Nowhere to go: 'Rape' banker stuck in Rikers Island cell after move to luxury Manhattan apartment falls through (but at least he's got a lucrative pension deal) Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1388834/Dominique-Strauss-Kahn-reunited-wife-Anne-Sinclair-hes-released-prison.html#ixzz1MuY3Okp9Appearance: Wearing a dark grey suit Strauss-Khan appeared clean-shaven as he sat through the hearing Free again: Clean-shaven Dominique Strauss-Khan learns his stay at Rikers prison willl be coming to an end once he's posted bail Disgraced banker Dominique Strauss-Kahn was today thwarted in his bid to swap his tiny cell in New York's notorious Rikers Island jail for a lavish Manhattan apartment. The former IMF boss, who faces trial on charges of raping a hotel maid, was due to be released after his wife posted $6million bail. But his return to the lap of luxury suffered a setback this afternoon after a deal to rent an Upper East Side condo appeared to have fallen through. With a 24-hour concierge, swimming pool and daily maid service, The Bristol Plaza in Manhattan was thought to be where the former IMF chief would hunker down as he prepared for an upcoming sexual assault trial. But there was confusion as to whether Mr Strauss-Kahn will in fact live at the swanky pad, after the company who own the tower today denied he or his wife had rented a place there. Sources claimed the owners of the apartment block pulled out of the deal once they found out the identity of the new tenant - and that a 'high-profile' tenant had complained about Strauss-Kahn's arrival. His move away from Rikers Island prison comes after it was revealed today that the ex-IMF chief will receive a generous exit package as well as a $318,000-a-year pension from his former employer. The disgraced banker was dramatically granted bail last night under draconian conditions as it emerged he will face a trial for his alleged sex attack on a hotel maid. He will be released today from Rikers Island prison in New York to an apartment in Manhattan. His new accommodation is being bankrolled by his third wife, French journalist and millionaire heiress, Anne Sinclair, who raised the necessary $6m to satisfy the State Supreme Court. The daughter of an art dealer, she managed to raise $1m in cash and $5m insurance bond. The arrangements to which Strauss-Kahn must abide are still very restrictive, however. He will be subjected to 24-hour monitoring by a security firm paid for by himself and an electronic tag will be fitted on his ankle. Video cameras will also be installed in the house and alarms will be fitted on the doors to stop him leaving. LAP OF LUXURY: HOW ACCUSED FORMER IMF HEAD WILL LIVE The plush Bristol Plaza residences have a number of luxurious features for residents, including: Daily maid service with fresh towels 24-hour doorman and concierge 24-hour attended parking garage Full valet service Full dinner service Swimming pool and on site Gym Italian marble kitchens The judge's decision last night to post bail was greeted with visible relief by Ms Sinclair and Strauss-Khan's daughter Camille - a university student based in New York. New York's Supreme Court was told that an indictment has now been handed down against Strauss-Kahn after a grand jury agreed there was enough evidence for a prosecution. He will appear in court next month to be arraigned. When contacted by MailOnline, a receptionist at the Bristol Plaza claimed there was no Dominique Strauss-Kahn or Anne Sinclair staying there then hung up. After a second phone call in which our reporter asked to speak to the manager she put him on hold then hung up again. Calls to Milford Management, which runs Bristol Plaza, went unanswered. The location of Strauss-Kahn's bail accommodation had triggered a media frenzy with packs of of photographers attempting to pursue his wife and daughter as they left court last night. The media pack followed the two women in a black car - at one point the wrong way down a long, one-way street - as far as 48th Street before being dissuaded to continue further by the millionaire banker's newly employed security team.

He has spent the last three nights in solitary confinement at the jail under 24-hour suicide watch wearing a one-piece 'suicide smock' to stop him hanging himself. More...

With a tense expression on her face, Miss Sinclair, wearing a knee length grey skirt, a black jacket and light brown patent leather shoes, stared forward the whole time. William Taylor, defending Strauss-Kahn, said that his client should be freed as had handed over his travel documents and hired a $200,000-a-month private security company to ensure he does not leave America. He said that Strauss-Kahn was an 'honourable man' who would be 'vindicated' and that his only goal was to 'clear his name'. Strauss-Kahn resigned as managing director of the International Monetary Fund late Wednesday, saying he needed to focus on clearing his name. His lawyers have promised that, if released, he won't flee to France. He has already surrendered his passport and lawyers have promised to hand over his ‘laissez passer’, an alternative travel document issued by the United Nations. In a letter to the court, his lawyers noted he had no criminal record, is ‘a loving husband and father’, and is highly regarded as a diplomat, politician, lawyer, economist and professor. Strauss-Kahn appeared at Manhattan's State Supreme Court in front of Supreme Court Justice Michael J Obus Scene is set: Supreme Court Justice Michael J Obus oversees the Strauss-Kahn bail hearing in Manhattan Dominique Strauss-Kahn speaks with attorney Marc Agnifico during the bail hearing Plan of attack: Dominique Strauss-Kahn speaks with attorney Marc Agnifico during the bail hearing BAIL CONDITIONS AT A GLANCE $1 million cash bail $5 million bond Home confinement to an undisclosed Manhattan address that has been rented by Strauss-Khan's wife 24-hour monitoring by guard Strauss-Khan is paying $200,000 a month. Electronic tag fitted on his ankle. Video cameras will also be installed in the house. Alarms will be fitted on the doors to stop him leaving. In an apparent nod to the case of Roman Polanski he said that the idea his client would flee to France and live the life of a fugitive sex offender was 'ridiculous'. 'This is a man who has a right to be released from custody,' he said, adding that there were other high profile cases such a crooked financier Bernard Madoff where bail was granted. 'We are respectfully requesting the court to permit Mr Strauss-Kahn to be released and exist with his family under the conditions proposed. 'I cannot think of any other conditions more restrictive that could possible be offered,' he said. Assistant District Attorney John McConnell however said the evidence of Strauss-Kahn's guilt was 'substantial and growing every day'. He added that the alleged victim had given a 'compelling and unwavering' account and that preliminary DNA tests from the hotel room appeared to support her version of events. 'We have a man who by his own conduct in this case has shown that he has a propensity for impulsive criminal conduct,' he said. Dominique Strauss-Kahn Dominique Strauss-Kahn Listening in: Strauss-Kahn takes in what lawyer William Taylor is saying but his nervous tension is clear as he bites his thumb Dominique Strauss-Kahn Dominique Strauss-Kahn Mulling over his situation: Strauss-Kahn touches his fingers together in an apparent sign of calm He added that Strauss-Kahn was an 'international figure' who posed a flight risk because he had the 'personal, political, and financial means' to leave the US and 'potentially enormous economic resources and a network of contacts around the world'. Mr McConnell also dismissed the idea Strauss-Kahn would live a life on the run but instead said were he to flee he would 'live a life of ease and comfort in places that are beyond the jurisdiction of this court and of this country'. But after demanding assurances that Strauss-Kahn would be placed under 24-hour surveillance, Supreme Court Judge Michael Obus agreed for him to be freed. Into the fray: Strauss-Kahn returns to court after a recess in his case in New York state Supreme Court Into the fray: Strauss-Kahn returns to court after a recess in his case in New York state Supreme Court Speaking directly to the Frenchman, the judge warned him that the 'slightest problem' with his bail would mean an immediate recall to court and possible return to custody. 'Money alone is not going to be sufficient to give us the assurance we have. It is the other conditions which make it impossible for the defendant to leave,' he said. The hearing was the second attempt to free Strass-Kahn after he was dubbed a 'flight risk' during his first attempt at a lower court. The new seven count indictment states that he committed two counts of a criminal sexual act, one count of attempted rape, two counts of sexual abuse, unlawful imprisonment and forcible touching. Press scrum: Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R Vance speaks to the media after the bail hearing Press scrum: Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R Vance speaks to the media after the bail hearing Strauss-Kanh's alleged victim has already testified before a grand jury to give her account of the alleged attack. He will next appear before the court on June 6 to be arraigned over the indictment. Scores of reporters had lined up outside the courtroom door before the hearing, with still more journalists and cameras poised outside the building. State court system spokesman David Bookstaver said the media throng was one of the biggest at the courthouse since Mark David Chapman was arrested in the 1980 killing of John Lennon. Strauss-Kahn is charged with attacking a 32-year-old maid on Saturday afternoon at his $3,000-a-night suite at the Sofitel Hotel. Arrival: A New York Correction Department van thought to be holding Strauss-Khan arrives at the court Arrival: A New York Correction Department van thought to be holding Strauss-Khan arrives at the court The 32-year-old West African immigrant told police that he chased her down a hallway, forced her to perform oral sex and tried to remove her stockings. In his resignation letter, released by the IMF executive board, Strauss-Kahn denied the allegations against him, but said he would quit to protect the institution. He said he felt ‘compelled’ to resign with ‘infinite sadness’ to protect both his family and the IMF, adding: ‘I think at this time first of my wife – whom I love more than anything – of my children, of my family, of my friends.’ Sources at the IMF, which oversees the global finance system, insisted his decision to resign had been his alone and he had not been ‘strong-armed’ into quitting the body, which he had run to great acclaim since 2007.

Strauss-Kahn’s arrest has not only made waves in the IMF but has also created huge ructions in French politics, where he was regarded as the leading Left-wing challenger to Nicolas Sarkozy for the presidency. Court officials could not recall a bigger media throng outside the courthouse since Mark David Chapman was charged with shooting John Lennon in 1980.
