I'm not sure, maybe it did say that somewhere. I know that Stanton Dowd says the Illuminati never had a military force at all ("we never had troops like Majestic 12"). To be fair, Belltower is effectivly directly under their control In Human Revolution so that may not be accurate. It would make sense if INTERPOL is under Illuminati control since a world police seems right up their street. Although in the Missing Link, Adam has the option to save Tiffany Kavanagh so that she can give info about what the Illuminati are doing to INTERPOL. On Belltower's website there is a document on the table about Jaron Namir (who as you know works for the Illuminati) with an INTERPOL logo on it. It's hard to tell if they are investigating him or working with him though..

No it never is explained how Page takes over the Illuminati. Actually, I was thinking along the same lines as you. I would find it pretty hilarious if that's what ended up happening!
