IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has consented to a mudical examination over allegations of serious sexual assault.

国际货币基金组织执行理事史特劳斯·卡恩同意就一起严肃的性侵犯指控进行体格检查。

Mr Strauss-Kahn, who was arrested on Saturday, denies attacking and attempting to rape¹ a hotel maid.

He had been due to appear in court on Sunday but the hearing has been postponed² until Monday to allow the forensic³（法院的） tests to be carried out.

The married former French finance minister is also considered a possible Socialist⁴ candidate for the presidency⁵.

He had been scheduled to meet German Chancellor⁶ Angela Merkel on Sunday in Berlin and then attend an EU finance ministers' meeting in Brussels on Monday on bailouts for Portugal and Greece.

Correspondents say he has been central to efforts to stabilise the finances of struggling eurozone member states and his detention⁷（拘留，延迟） is likely to complicate⁸ the process.

The Euro fell half a cent to $1.4063 when Asian markets opened on Monday - a six-week low against the dollar - reflecting concerns about the impact the arrest could have on bailouts plans for Portugal and Greece.

Mr Strauss-Kahn - often referred to in France simply as DSK - had been detained at JFK airport on Saturday night as he prepared to fly to Europe.

He is believed to have been in New York on personal business and does not have diplomatic immunity⁹（外交豁免权） .

The 62-year-old was kept overnight in a special unit for sexual harassment¹⁰ in New York's Harlem borough¹¹ and on Sunday, charged with "criminal sexual act, unlawful imprisonment¹², and attempted rape".

Police say the 32-year-old woman who made the allegations has formally identified him in a line-up.

'International conspiracy¹³'

Speaking outside court in Manhattan, lawyer William Taylor said Mr Strauss-Kahn had "willingly consented to a scientific and forensic examination", adding that he was "tired but fine".

A second lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said his client "intends to vigorously defend these charges and he denies any wrongdoing".

Mr Strauss-Kahn's wife, prominent French journalist Anne Sinclair, has also said she believes he is innocent.

"I do not believe for one second the accusations¹⁴ brought against my husband," she said in a statement sent to the AFP news agency on Sunday.

The BBC's David Chazan says there has been a mixed reaction to the arrest in France, with some people seeing it as a national humiliation¹⁵ but others suggesting that he might have been set up by his political opponents.

Mr Strauss-Kahn was widely expected to announce his intention to run for the French presidency soon, and was seen as having a genuine chance of beating President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Paris regional councillor, Michelle Sabban, told AFP: "I am convinced it is an international conspiracy... This is a new form of political assassination¹⁶."

Socialist legislator Jean-Marie Le Guen said: "The facts as they were reported today have nothing to do with the Dominique Strauss-Kahn whom we know."
