NEW YORK from www.newyork.cbslocal.com — It’s been just two weeks since Dominique Strauss-Kahn was accused of sexually attacking a hotel maid, and now another high-profile money man is accused of a surprisingly similar assault.
Mahmoud Abdel Salam Omar [pictured] is the former chairman of one of Egypt’s major banks. He spent the overnight hours being questioned by New York City police detectives, accused of sexually abusing a housekeeper inside The Pierre Hotel.
Omar was awaiting arraignment Tuesday on charges of sexual abuse, unlawful imprisonment, forcible touching and harassment.
Police said the alleged attack took place just before 7 p.m. Sunday. They say they found the woman’s story to be credible.
The hotel employee said the alleged attack happened in Omar’s room on the 10th floor – a standard, king-sized room at the luxurious hotel.
She told police she was called there to bring a box of tissues, but once inside, she said Omar would not let her leave alone and touched her inappropriately.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the hotel said: “The priority of the hotel is the safety of guests and staff. The hotel takes all complaints very seriously and the investigation seriously. The hotel will fully comply with the investigation.”
Sources told CBS2 Omar has deep roots in the international financial world, with experience running the Egyptian American Bank, the Federation of Egyptian Banks and, most recently, the Bank of Alexandria.
He currently works as the CEO of a salt company, El Mex Salinas, based in Alexandria.
The financial heavy-hitter’s arrest comes as the global financial system is reeling.
Just two weeks ago, the then-head of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss Kahn, was pulled off a Paris-bound jet.
On May 14, Strauss-Kahn was accused of attacking a maid at the Sofitel New York hotel. He was eventually granted $1 million bail and is currently being held under house arrest with electronic monitoring inside a lavish townhouse in Tribeca.
