"The executive board convened this afternoon in an informal session to receive a verbal report from senior Fund officials, including John Lipsky, acting managing director, and Sean Hagan, the fund's General Counsel, on developments related to managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn," IMF spokeswoman Caroline Atkinson, said.
"The board was briefed regarding criminal charges that have been brought against the managing director during a private visit to New York City," she said.
"The IMF and its executive board will continue to monitor developments," Atkinson added.
