South Korea’s Kim Jong-yang has been elected as new chief of global police organization Interpol, officials in Seoul said Wednesday.
Kim, who had served as chief of South Korea’s Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency and vice president of Interpol, will become the first South Korean to head the global police body.
Kim will replace Meng Hongwei of China, who disappeared two months ago. The election was held in Dubai on the final day of Interpol’s general assembly.
Kim, 57, is to serve as president of Interpol for the remainder of Meng’s term, until November 2020, according to officials at the National Police Agency of Korea and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. [Yonhap]
You can read more at the link, but I wonder how much influence the Moon administration has on Kim Jong-yang? I wonder because North Korea is well known for the international criminal enterprises they run to bring in foreign currency to the Kim regime. A South Korean running Interpol with ties to the Moon administration may decide to turn a blind eye to these activities in order to not upset the so called “peace mood” on the peninsula.
