PARIS (AA) – French investigators have launched a probe into the “alarming ” disappearance of Hongwei Meng, the Chinese president of Interpol, French media reported Friday.
Meng, 64, has been unaccounted for since he left France for China in late September, Europe 1 radio reported.
“Since his departure, he remains unreachable and untraceable, ” Europe1 said, adding Meng’s “worried wife, living in Lyon with their children, reported his disappearance to the French authorities and was heard by the judicial police. ”
