The wife of Interpol’s ex-chief Meng Hongwei said she is in danger and is worried that her husband could already be dead after going back to China late September. Gao Ge, whose English name is Grace Meng, believes her family is under political persecution from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Zhang Jian, a Chinese pro-democracy activist in exile in France, told The Epoch Times that Gao may be extradited back to China.

Meng, 64, was China’s vice minister of public security until Oct. 7, and Interpol’s president since November 2016. He lived with his family in Lyon, France, where Interpol’s headquarters is based. Meng’s wife, Gao Ge, remains in France with their two children, seven-year-old twins. The Chinese regime announced on Oct. 7 that Meng is under surveillance and investigation for bribery and other unspecified crimes.
