Authorities on Tuesday questioned former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn as they investigate an alleged prostitution ring operating out of two hotels in France.

Last year, Strauss-Kahn urged police to question him, saying it would help clear his name.

At the time, his attorneys released a statement saying Strauss-Kahn wanted to address the so-called "media lynching" that he says falsely links him to sex parties with prostitutes in Europe and the United States.

The investigation kicked off in October and centered around the northern French city of Lille, where investigators began looking into claims that luxury hotels served as a base for a high-profile prostitution network.
