Chinese justice sentenced former head of Interpol Meng Hongwei to 13.5 years in prison.
He was found guilty of bribery. This is an amount of 14.46 million yuan (about 2.1 million hryvnia). This is the total amount of “thanks” that Hongwei admitted in July 2019. Writes about it Reuters.
A politician in China will also have to pay about 290 thousand dollars as a fine. According to Chinese media, the former head of Interpol will not appeal this court decision.
The ruling Chinese Communist Party claimed that there was an investigation against Hongwei. According to its results, the official spent large sums of state funds, abused his power and refused to implement party decisions. According to the investigation, Hongwei committed all these crimes as the Deputy Minister of Public Security of the PRC from 2004 to 2018.
In October 2018, France began to investigate the disappearance of Meng Hongwei. His wife Grace Man then reported his loss. The woman claimed that her husband had not contacted since the end of September, as well as about receiving threats through social networks and by phone. Later, Chinese authorities denied the official’s disappearance and claimed that Hongwei was in China under investigation in a corruption case. Meanwhile, the wife of the ex-head of Interpol Grace Man said that her husband was detained in China for political reasons.
The French government last year granted political asylum to Grace Mans and her children. Then the suspect of bribery resigned from the post of president of Interpol. In this position, he worked from November 2016 to October 2018.
