A country that many view as a kleptocracy, a gangster state, is not only a member but has one of its key officials on a board that makes very important decisions in terms of international policing. A country that provides sanctuary to international criminals involved in arms smuggling, human smuggling and drug smuggling has access to some of the most important information that this police force has in regard to trying to address those very problems.
Is that not a serious flaw in the structures of INTERPOL and, in fact, undermines the very purpose of the organization?
