A French court is to investigate the new head of the IMF for abuse of authority as French finance minister.
Christine Lagarde is accused of wrongly pressing a bank to enter binding arbitration over a dispute with a businessman who supported President Nicolas Sarkozy's election campaign.
Ms Lagarde denies misconduct. There is no suggestion she profited personally.
Ms Lagarde took over as managing director from Dominique Strauss-Kahn in July, following his arrest in May on charges of the attempted rape of a New York hotel maid.
