A photo taken on July 4, 2011 in Paris shows the headquarters of the French hotel giant Accor, owner of the Sofitel hotel in Manhattan. The security director of the French hotel chain, Rene-Georges Querry, said in a interview on July 4, 2011 with the French trade magazine Securite et Strategie (Security and Strategy) that Accor heaquarters in Paris had no "dynamic role" when the sex-assault case against then-International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn occurred. Resurgent conspiracy theories over the Strauss-Kahn sex assault case angered the French government on July 4, as speculation rose that he may return to the presidential race if cleared.
