The first Chinese citizen to head Interpol pleaded guilty in a court in China Thursday to taking $2 million in bribes.
Meng Hongwei
admitted during a hearing at Tianjin No 1 Intermediate People’s Court that he helped companies “make illegal gains.”
The offenses occurred from 2005 to 2017 when he held various public security positions in China, according to the charges.
Meng, 65, resigned in October last year as Interpol’s president. He had served two years of his four-year term.
Authorities in China arrested Meng during a visit there in September last year.
