Wife of missing ex-Interpol chief says arrest in China politically motivated.

PARIS - The wife of the missing Chinese former head of Interpol on Thursday dismissed allegations by authorities in China accusing her husband of graft and said his arrest was politically motivated.

Interpol, the global police coordination agency based in France, said last October that Meng had resigned as its president, days after his wife reported him missing while he was on a trip to China. "Instead, the CCDI made vague, general, uncorroborated statements," she said."Chinese authorities have not formulated actual charges or adduced the alleged supporting evidence."

A source close to the investigation said Beijing had not asked for her extradition and her asylum request was still under consideration.
