Former Interpol President Meng Hongwei Faces Bribery Charges In China :

Meng Hongwei, who was the president of Interpol when he was reported missing in China last fall, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China and will be prosecuted on bribery charges.

Meng’s case drew international headlines last fall.

Meng, one of the world’s top law enforcement officials, suddenly lost contact with his family during a trip to China from Lyon, France, where he had been living with his family near Interpol’s headquarters.

As it announced the charges against Meng on Wednesday, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of China’s Communist Party accused him of lacking principles and leading an extravagant lifestyle.
