HEAD'S UP: Interpol chief Meng Hongwei vanishes on trip to China
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.
He was elected president of Interpol two years ago.
The investigation was opened after Mr Meng's wife went to police to report her husband missing.
Just finished reading that article. Curious. Makes me think of the Chinese helicopter crash a day or two ago.
Something’s going on. I can’t tell which side is winning in China.
