The missing Interpol chief, Meng Hongwei, who it was revealed on Sunday has been detained in China for 12 days unknown to his family or employer, has resigned from the international police agency.
Interpol said it had received his resignation “with immediate effect” late on Sunday. It was the latest twist in the mystery of Meng’s disappearance last month after he flew from France to China.
In a terse statement on Sunday evening, the Chinese authorities had admitted they were holding Meng under investigation by a new government anti-corruption unit for suspected “violations of the law”.

If the head of Interpol is a criminal, who was watching the watchmen?

Then maybe you should speak English. I could never understand why uber intellectuals such as yourself post comments in a foreign language that no one here can understand unless you're trying to impress everyone with your foreign linguistic abilities...........
Not impressed.........

It’s in Bartlett’s Familiar Quotes, page 1572.
The quote dates back to the Roman Empire, quoting it in Latin emphasized the depth of the problem, pretty much all of Western History.
Here’s another Bartlett quote you might be Familiar with:
“Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It ...”

Good idea, we can put ChiFi and Hillary!™ in charge of it.
Perhaps we can add a Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice to give Slick Willie something to do as well?

"If the head of Interpol is a criminal, who was watching the watchmen?" Good question...it would be almost as bad as if the Attorney General of the United States went AWOL.

No, I don’t think so, just know nothings that are threatened by the literate or articulate.
