SCANDAL-hit ex-world bank boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn arrived in Paris yesterday to face police Β­questions about sex assault allegations in France.

He flew home from the US after claims by New York hotel maid Nafissatou Diallo that he tried to rape her were thrown out by judges.

The 62-year-old lost his job as International Monetary Fund chief and blew his hopes of challenging for the French presidency in May.

His wife Anne Sinclair was with him when they landed at Charles de Gaulle airport. A police escort rushed them through customs and into a waiting limo.

Detectives say they plan to speak to Strauss-Kahn about accusations by French writer Tristane Banon, 32, that he sexually attacked her in a Paris flat in 2003.

Her lawyer David Koubbie, said she had β€œno intention of letting her case drop”.

Strauss-Kahn has always denied all allegations.
