woodview Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 From BBC news: Alexander Prokopchuk has had a long career in Russia's interior ministry and was made a major general of the police in 2011. The clear favourite to win Wednesday's vote, he is one of four current vice presidents of Interpol, and was nominated to the role by Russia two years ago. Critics are opposed to his candidacy, arguing that Russia has misused Interpol as a means to pursue its critics by using unjust international arrest warrants, or Red Notices.

Interpol is a vehicle for international cooperation in fighting crime, and not a vehicle through which vendettass may be waged against alleged enemies of the Russian State. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
