Thursday, 25 November 2021 (YJC)_ The head of security at the UAE Interior Ministry, who has been accused by human rights organizations of arbitrary actions and torture, has been appointed head of the International Police (Interpol).
AFP reported today (Thursday) that Ahmed Nasser al-Risi, the UAE Interior Ministry's security chief, has been appointed head of the International Police (Interpol).
