BEIJING: China on Tuesday (Jan 21) has sentenced the former president of Interpol, Meng Hongwei, to 13 years and six months in prison on charges of accepting more than US$2mil in bribes.

Meng was elected president of the international police organisation in 2016, but his four-year term was cut short when he vanished after travelling to China from France in late 2018.

Meng's wife, who remains in France with their two children, has accused Chinese authorities of lying and questioned whether her husband was still alive. In a statement sent to the media, she said Interpol"breached its obligations owed to my family" and"is complicit in the internationally wrongful acts of its member country, China.”
