BEIJING — China announced Wednesday that it has formally arrested former Interpol President Meng Hongwei on suspicion of accepting bribes. The indictment from the Supreme People’s Procuratorate comes after Meng was expelled last month from public office and the ruling Communist Party. Meng’s wife accused Chinese authorities of lying and questioned in a statement Wednesday whether her husband is still alive. Meng was elected president of the international police organization in 2016, but his four-year term was cut short when he was detained by Chinese authorities during a visit to China last October. We don’t even know if he is alive.”She has remained in France with their two boys since her husband’s detention in September.
