PARIS - Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn tried to shake off yet another sex scandal Sunday, demanding to be interviewed by judges to clear his name over reports linking him to a vice ring.

Until May this year the 62-year-old Socialist was considered favourite to defeat President Nicolas Sarkozy in next year’s election, but his career has been destroyed by two unproven attempted rape allegations.

Strauss-Kahn firmly denied those claims, and prosecutors have dropped both cases, but on Sunday his name was linked to another scandal, an investigation into an alleged call girl network in the northern city of Lille.
