Kremlin denounces ‘strong pressure’ over Interpol vote
MOSCOW, Nov 21, 2018 (BSSS/AFP) – The Kremlin on Wednesday denounced
“strong pressure” against a Russian candidate to lead Interpol, after a South
Korean was instead chosen to lead the global policing body.
“Of course we are sorry our candidate has not won,” Kremlin spokesman
Dmitry Peskov said, Russian news agencies reported. “Strong pressure was
exerted if you impartially look at a number of statements from a number of
countries on the eve of the vote.”
