French anti-terror prosecutors have opened a preliminary inquiry into torture and acts of barbarism allegedly committed by Emirati General Ahmed Nasser Al-Raisi who in November became head of Interpol, judicial sources said on Thursday.
The probe follows a legal complaint by an NGO which accused Raisi of torturing an opposition figure when he worked as a top official at the United Arab Emirates interior ministry.
