Meng Hongwei, who heads the global law enforcement organization Interpol, is being investigated by China's National Supervisory Commission for suspected violations of laws, according to an official statement released on Sunday.
Meng, who is also the vice minister of public security in China, had been reported missing by his wife after traveling last month from France, where Interpol is based, to China.
"Public Security Ministry Vice Minister Meng Hongwei is currently under investigation by the National Supervisory Commission for suspected violations of law," China's anti-graft body said in a brief statement on its website.
