Russia Accuses US Senators of Trying To Meddle In Interpol Election

Local Editor

Russia’s Kremlin said on Tuesday that a statement by a group of US senators opposing the election of a Russian candidate to head international police organization Interpol amounted to election meddling.

Interpol is due to elect a new head on Nov. 21. Four US senators, including Marco Rubio, published a joint statement on Monday urging the administration of US President Donald Trump to oppose the candidacy of Russia’s Alexander Prokopchuk.

Relatively, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call: “... This is probably a certain kind of interference in the electoral process of an international organization.”
