Interpol President Meng Hongwei shown at the headquarters of International Police Organisation in Lyon, France, on May 8, 2018.China will prosecute former Interpol chief Meng Hongwei for graft after an investigation found he spent “lavish” amounts of state funds, abused his power and refused to follow Communist Party decisions, its anti-corruption watchdog said on Wednesday.
The anti-graft body said Meng Hongwei had “refused to enact decisions of the party centre” and abused his power for private gain. He “wantonly and lavishly spent state funds to satisfy his family’s luxurious lifestyle,” it said. It has not been possible to reach Meng for comment since he was detained, and unclear if he has been allowed a lawyer.
