But mention the name of the hotel maid Nafissatou Diallo, who was originally accused DSK of sexual harassment against him, was willing to repeal the law suit. As compensation, Diallo received compensation but did not mention how much.

"I am grateful to all the people, I thank God," Diallo said after the trial.
"Diallo is a figure of a strong and courageous woman who never lost faith in the legal system of our country. With this solution, now he can continue his life and we are grateful to everyone who gave support and prayers to him," said Diallo lawyer, Kenneth Thompson .
