Local Editor
Former International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn declared in an interview broadcast on Wednesday that his political career was over and he was instead working as an economic adviser.
"Politics for me is in the past," Strauss-Kahn told state news channel Rossiya 24 in an interview.
"Today, I am working as an adviser to big companies in numerous countries in all the corners of the world -- in Russia, Africa and Latin America," he added.
"I try my best to fulfill my role and give the most accurate advice possible," he noted.
Strauss-Kahn, who was presented by the Russian television as an "influential French economist", said he had been hired by the Russian firms for his economic experience.
"The chiefs of these firms decided that my knowledge would be useful and this work suited me because I think that all the economic forces should work together," he remarked.
