PARIS, Feb. 27 - RAPSI. The Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Dominique Strauss-Kahn to prohibit the publication of a book by his former lover, Marcela Iacub.

However, the court ordered Stock Publishers to put an insert in each copy of the book, warning readers that it breaches the former IMF chief's private life. The publishers will be fined EUR 50 for each book which does not contain this insert.

A Stock representative previously said it would not be possible to do this with the first 40,000 copies of the books, because they had already been delivered to the stores for going on sale on Wednesday.

In addition, Ms. Iacub and her publisher must pay Strauss-Kahn EUR 50,000 in damages.

The court also obliged Le Nouvel Observateur magazine to give half of its front page over to a statement by Mr. Strauss-Kahn. His lawyers had asked for the statement to take up the whole page in reaction to last week's issue of the magazine, whose front page was wholly given over to the upcoming release of the book. The judge also ordered the magazine to pay EUR 25,000 in damages and to publish the fact that it had been fined.

In "Belle et Bete" ("Beauty and Beast", or "Beautiful and Stupid"), Marcela Iacub writes of her affair with the former chief of the International Monetary Fund, which lasted from January to August 2012. She does not name Mr. Strauss-Kahn in her book, but has told Nouvel Observateur that he is the protagonist, whom she describes as "half man, half pig."

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, 63, was forced to resign as the IMF head after being arrested and accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid in New York in May 2011.
