Interpol chief vanishes on Chinese trip

‘France has opened an investigation into the disappearance of Meng Hongwei, the Chinese head of the international police agency Interpol.

His family have not heard from him since he left Interpol HQ in the French city of Lyon for a trip back to China a week ago, police sources say.

“He did not disappear in France,” a source close to the French inquiry told AFP news agency.

Mr Meng, 64, is a senior Communist Party official in China.’
