Did the United States “handle” member countries to interfere in the Interpol Presidential election?
Pursuing an anti-Russian policy, the United States interfered in the election of the head of Interpol by “dealing with” the organization's member countries.

This is the opinion of the First Deputy Chairman of the International Committee of the Federation Council, General of the Russian Federal Security Service, Vladimir Bzhabarov.
On November 21, after the vote, the new President of Interpol was elected, that is the representative of South Korea Kim Jong Yang, according to Twitter news. Previously, the United States, Ukraine and Lithuania publicly opposed the Russian candidate Alexander Prokopchuk.
"Formally, the election of the head of Interpol is secret, but there was definitely some pressure, as well as the "handling" of the organization's member countries. The United States blatantly interfered in the election of the head of Interpol," said Mr. Jabarov.
He also noted that the position of Interpol President is technical. "Intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies of one country request the extradition of lawbreakers of another country, while Interpol itself cannot arrest anyone," Mr. Jabarov explained.
