Interpol wants China to be decisive about boss

After the enigmatic disappearance of Interpol boss Meng Hongwei, the international police organization has now asked China through the official channels to give a definite answer about his whereabouts and health.

The family lost contact with Meng after flying from China to China last week. His wife gave him as missing. The justice department in Lyon, where Interpol's headquarters is located, tries to trace the facts of the disappearance.

According to the South China Morning Post, the 64-year-old Meng was taken for questioning immediately after landing. The newspaper wrote that a judicial investigation was initiated against him, but mentioned no reason or source.
