Hillel Nahmad, left, exits Manhattan federal court with his attorney Benjamin Brafman, Friday, April 19, 2013, in New York. Nearly three dozen people were charged on Tuesday in what investigators said was a Russian organized crime operation that included illegal, high-stakes poker games for the rich and famous and threats of violence to make sure customers paid their debts.
A picture taken on April 28, 2011 shows IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn (L) and his wife Anne Sinclair (getting into car at R) leaving their Paris home in a Porsche \'Panamera S\'. Strauss-Kahn IMF chief has been charged on May 15 with a sexual assault and attempted rape of a chambermaid at a New York hotel, a scandal that is likely to bury his dreams of becoming the next French president. The veteran French politician denies allegations of attempting to rape the maid in a luxury hotel, lawyer Benjamin Brafman told reporters.
This courtroom sketch shows IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn (L) with his lawyer Benjamin Brafman (C) and Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson(C right) at Manhattan Criminal Court, in New York, May 16, 2011. The New York judge denied IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn bail on Monday, despite an offer from his defense team to put up $1 million in cash and surrender all his travel documents. The judge ordered the IMF chief detained, two days after he was pulled off a plane and accused of trying to rape a Manhattan hotel chambermaid.
