PARIS: The wife of the former Chinese head of Interpol, who disappeared in China in September, said on Monday that she was suing the international police organisation for complicity in his detention.
Grace Meng, wife of Meng Hongwei, said she had filed a case at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, the world's oldest arbitration body which rules on international disputes.In a statement sent to AFP, Meng said that France-based Interpol had"failed to protect and assist my family and it is complicit in the internationally wrongful acts of its member country China".
Meng, who has lawyers in Paris and London, said the tribunal in The Hague would have to decide"whether my husband's disappearance is only a matter for the relevant authorities in France and China, as alleged by Interpol, or whether Interpol itself breached its obligations owed to my family".Interpol said that the legal action had been launched on Apr 26 and that proceedings were meant to be confidential.
