Well, the agreement itself is confidential, so we don't know the figure that the two parties settled on. Dominique Strauss-Kahn himself was not here in court, but Nafissatou Diallo was. She spoke briefly to reporters she thanked everyone around the world who had supported her and that was it. And really this case remains something of a mystery. We still don't know what happened in that Hotel Sofitel back in May, 2011 when the then head of the IMF Dominique Strauss-Kahn had a sexual encounter with Nafissatou Diallo. Prosecutors here in New York dropped that case because they decided that Nafissatou Diallo had what they called “credibility issues”.
当然,协议内容是保密的,因此我们不知道双方最终达成的数额。Dominique Strauss-Kahn本人也不在法庭现场,但是女服务员Nafissatou Diallo出庭了。她简短的告诉记者,她感谢支持她抗争的每个人。实际上这一案件仍然蒙着神秘的色彩。大家对2011年5月当时的IMF总载史特劳斯卡恩与Nafissatou Diallo在索菲特酒店的性活动仍然一无所知。因为纽约的检查官对Nafissatou Diallo存在“信誉问题”,他们隐去了案件的详情。
