Interpol chief Meng Hongwei took a trip to his native country and disappeared.
This isn’t our normal fare, but it is just weird. Meng Hongwei is the president of Interpol, and he is missing.
According to the New York Times, Hongwei took a trip to China and disappeared.
“If Meng Hongwei has disappeared in China, then of course the most likely reason is an anticorruption investigation,” Deng Yuwen, a former editor of a Communist Party journal who now writes commentaries on Chinese politics, said in a telephone interview.
“Internationally, he is president of Interpol, but in the eyes of the Chinese authorities he is first of all Chinese, and they wouldn’t think too much about his international prominence,” Mr. Deng added.
