Disgraced former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been
appointed to the supervisory board of a bank owned by Ukraine's
second-richest businessman Viktor Pinchuk.
Kiev's
Kredit-Dnipro Bank said the decision to accept Strauss-Kahn and five
others to the advisory body was taken on Monday and goes into immediate
effect.
It added that Strauss-Kahn would serve as an independent committee member who does not represent shareholders' interests.
Pinchuk
is the son-in-law of former Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma and is
believed to have holdings worth $1.43 billion (1.29 billion euros),
according to Forbes magazine.
Strauss-Kahn led the
International Monetary Fund from 2007 until his forced 2011 resignation
over rape charges in a New York hotel.
The scandal derailed the Frenchman's presidential ambitions even though it was later dismissed in court.
Straus-Kahn
made one of his first post-resignation public appearances in Kiev when
he spoke to students on the personal invitation of Pinchuk.
