Meng's wife contacted police in Lyon, the French city where the international police agency is based, after not hearing from him since Sept. 25, and after receiving threats by phone and on social media, France's interior ministry said. A person familiar with the investigation said the initial working assumption was that Meng had antagonized Chinese authorities in some way and had been detained as a result. "France is puzzled about the situation of Interpol's president and concerned about the threats made to his wife," the ministry said, adding that it was in contact with China.
