Actually, she is apparently an immigrant from Guinea, a former French colony, which makes the case so much worse for DSK back home, because of anti-colonial sentiment.
If you can go to the English papers, which are reporting on the French papers, (God love those English papers!) you ‘ll see they are closing ranks around DSK as he is known. The maid can go to hell as far as they’re concerned. Highly predictable. Makes me all the more proud to be an American and know that the NYPD and FBI did the right thing.
