The Chinese head of Interpol, Meng Hongwei, has been detained and is under investigation for suspected violations of laws, said a newly formed anti-corruption body in China in a statement released late on Oct. 7. The announcement was made by China’s National Supervisory Commission, after a weekend of silence on the matter by the Beijing regime.
Meng’s wife had contacted police in Lyon, the French city where the international police agency is based, and reported Meng missing, after not hearing from him since Sept. 25. She also had received threats by phone and on social media, France’s interior ministry said.
