WASHINGTON — The International Monetary Fund, a key institution in the global financial crisis, has hired a law firm to investigate whether its chief had an improper relationship with a female employee.
Allegations regarding IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s relationship with the employee were first brought to the attention of the dean of the fund’s executive board, A. Shakour Shaalan, this summer, said William Murray, a monetary fund spokesman.
The law firm Morgan, Lewis, & Bockius is expected to report to the IMF executive board on the findings of the investigation by the end of this month, Murray said.
