It was after several days of a race between Russian Alexander Prokopchuk and French Mireille Ballestrazzi that Kim Jong-yang was elected head of the international criminal police organization on November 21.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Russian candidacy was not without controversy and fears were raised about the potential links between Alexander Prokoptchuk and the Kremlin. Such a link has made the presidential race threatened by the Kremlin&rsquo;s influence in the organization in case of a potential victory of the Russian candidate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Therefore, it was with relief that Kim Jong-yang&rsquo;s victory was welcomed, despite the fact that the leadership is primarily provided by Secretary General Jürgen Stock.&lt;/p&gt;
