DISINFO: US conspiracy against a Russian in Interpol

SUMMARY

The US plotted against the Russian candidate for the Interpol’s presidency.

RESPONSE

No evidence given on any secret plot. The article refers to a joint public statement made by several U.S. Senators opposing the possibility of a Russian heading the International Criminal Police Organization, or INTERPOL. It is not a conspiracy to express publicly a position regarding a candidate. For background see Polygraph.info. This is a recurring pro-Kremlin conspiracy theory about US.

Disclaimer

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
