THE HAGUE , Netherlands — The International Criminal Court ’s oversight body announced Monday it will open an outside investigation into sexual misconduct accusations against its top prosecutor Karim Khan,The Assembly of States Parties made the announcement after the court’s internal watchdog opened and shut an inquiry into the allegations after only five days.
Khan has categorically denied accusations that he tried to coerce a female aide into a sexual relationship. The claims come amid reports of an ongoing Israeli intelligence campaign to discredit the court’s prosecution of Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
The composition of the new probe remains unclear. According to Kaukoranta, the “practical modalities of the investigation are being finalized.” AP sources suggested law enforcement officials from Europe and a law firm could be involved.
