China Interpol Chief

The wife of the former head of Interpol, who was detained in his native China, said on Sunday she had sued the global police cooperation agency for failing to protect his family and complicity in what she called China's "wrongful acts".

Former Interpol chief Meng Hongwei pleaded guilty at a trial in China on Thursday to accepting $2.1 million in bribes - a remarkable fall from grace for the former vice minister of public security.

China has expelled former Interpol chief Meng Hongwei from the Communist Party and dismissed him from his official positions.Meng, who served as the vice minister of public security, vanished in September last year during a visit to China from France and was later accused of accepting bribes.

The wife of former Interpol chief Meng Hongwei has hired two law firms to help track down her husband, who has been missing since travelling back to his native China more than a month ago, but China said she had refused offers to talk to him by telephone.

China will expel former Interpol chief Meng Hongwei from a high profile though largely ceremonial advisory body to parliament, state media reported, after the Chinese government put him under investigation for bribery and other violations.

The former Chinese head of Interpol, who went missing last month, has been placed under investigation for accepting bribes, China's public security ministry said Monday.

Interpol announced Sunday that it had accepted the resignation of its president, Meng Hongwei, who disappeared in China in late September. The international police organization's statement came shortly after China revealed that Meng was under investigation for unspecified crimes.

The international police organisation Interpol announced Sunday that it has received the resignation of its Chinese chief Meng Hongwei, who has been missing since September 25 and is suspected by Beijing of "violating the law".

China said Monday the president of Interpol, who went missing shortly after arrival in his home country, is under investigation for possible criminal activity, as Beijing broke its silence about his fate.

Interpol demanded an official 'clarification' from China on the whereabouts of its missing police chief on Saturday, after reports said he was detained for questioning on arrival in his homeland.
