Interpol on Thursday elected a contentious official from the United Arab Emirates as its new president.
Major General Ahmed Naser al-Raisi, inspector general at the UAE's interior ministry, was chosen for one four-year term, despite having been accused of involvement in torture and arbitrary detentions by human rights groups.
The decision was announced amid the international law enforcement body's annual General Assembly held in Istanbul.
