The wife of a former Interpol president is accusing the international police agency of failing to protect her husband from arrest in China. Interpol says it had nothing to do with China's actions against Meng Hongwei.
FILE - In this Oct. 7, 2018, file photo, Grace Meng, the wife of former Interpol President Meng Hongwei, who does not want her face shown, consults her mobile phone in the lobby of an hotel in Lyon, central France, where the police agency is based. Meng Hongwei has sued the international police agency, accusing it of failing to protect him from arrest in China and failing to protect his family.
Meng’s wife Grace Meng said her lawyers filed a legal complaint in the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, Netherlands. In a statement sent to The Associated Press, she says Interpol “breached its obligations owed to my family” and “is complicit in the internationally wrongful acts of its member country, China.”The court in The Hague did not respond to requests for comment. Such cases generally take many months to settle, and its proceedings and rulings are not made public.
After the arrest, Grace Meng and her family stayed in France, where Interpol is based. She said she received threats, and was put under French police protection.
