IMF boss Christine Lagarde put under investigation in French fraud case

PARIS: -- IMF chief Christine Lagarde has been placed under formal investigation by French magistrates for her alleged role in a long-running political fraud case, a source close to the former French finance minister said.

The source said Ms Lagarde, who was earlier questioned by magistrates in Paris under her existing status as a witness, considered their decision to investigate her for alleged "negligence" was unfounded and would appeal it.

A French judiciary source also confirmed the step.

I think we all know bankers are crooks, the problem is they control us and it is easier to remove a president than it is to remove the controllers.

We can live in hope. Obama, Bush, Bush, Cheney, Blair, Bernanke, Hillary and Bill and with a bit of luck Tony Abbott.

While I agree with the above posts, France has a funny Magistrate system where you train to be a Magistrate out of university. No years of legal experience first. Some have a political agenda, so I will reserve judgement for now and see what transpires for Madame Lagarde.

Rocky Raccoon sounds a good bet. That "bandit mask" around the eyes is a dead giveaway?
