China captures more than 2,500 fugitives who fled overseas: Report
Posted 25 Mar 2017 18:15
BEIJING: China has captured 2,566 fugitives who had fled to more than 90 countries and regions and recovered 8.6 billion yuan (US$1.25 billion) of illicit funds from 2014 to 2016, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday.
Among them, 1,283 turned themselves in or were persuaded to return to China, Xinhua reported, citing a statement issued by the office in charge of pursuing fugitives under the central anti-graft coordination group.
A total of 410 were members of the Communist Party or official staff.
So far, 39 suspects of China's 100 most-wanted have returned, according to the Xinhua report.
As part of President Xi Jinping's sweeping anti-corruption campaign "Sky Net", China published a list of 100 most-wanted fugitives in 2015, all subject to Interpol red notice arrest warrants.
(US$1 = 6.8803 Chinese yuan renminbi)
