Wow, the leader of an international agency is facing corruption charges? I guess Interpol thought the United Nations was taking away their thunder?
(CNN) -- South Africa's embattled police commissioner resigned Sunday as president of Interpol, a day after he took an extended leave of absence from his police duties, the international crime-fighting agency said in a statement.
Interpol's Secretary-General Ronald Noble received a resignation letter on Sunday from Jackie Selebi, who is facing charges of corruption related to his role as police commissioner, the agency said.
The charges are not related to his leadership role in Interpol.
In the letter, Selebi said he was resigning because he did not wish the allegations against him "to bring the good work of this august body into disrepute." (H/T - CNN)
No, I'm sure this investigation has nothing to do with Interpol. /Snarkasm.
