China accuses former Interpol chief Meng Hongwei of taking bribes | SCMP |

A statement on the Ministry of Public Security's website also said police would form a task force to go after Meng's associates, adding that his "insistence on doing things in his own way means he has only himself to blame for being placed under investigation".

Meng's case is now in the hands of the country's new and powerful super-anticorruption agency, the National Supervisory Commission (NSC).

The acting president of Interpol, Kim Jong Yang, told Associated Press on Monday that it had not been told about the investigation of its chief.

"I find it regrettable that the top leader of the organisation had to go out this way and that we weren't specifically notified of what was happening in advance," Kim said in a phone interview.

"We still don't have sufficient information about what's happening [with Meng] or whether it has anything to do with Chinese domestic politics."

Shortly after the NSC announced its investigation, China's Minister of Public Security Zhao Kezhi convened a midnight Communist Party committee at the ministry, which expressed "unanimous support" for the probe against Meng and pledged "absolute political loyalty" to President Xi Jinping and the party leadership, according to the statement.
