Red Notice fugitive turns himself in
BEIJING - One more of China's most wanted graft fugitives has returned to China and turned himself in 17 years after fleeing overseas, China's top anti-graft authority announced Saturday.
Li Jianxiong, a former real estate transaction official at Nanhai District of Foshan City in Guangdong Province, is suspected of graft crime.
The procuratorate in Nanhai District started investigating his case in July 2002, two months after he fled. Li was listed on an Interpol Red Notice in May 2003.
Through work by an office in charge of fugitive repatriation and asset recovery under the central anti-corruption coordination group, he turned himself in Friday and expressed his willingness to return his illegal gains.
An official with the office said fugitive repatriation and asset recovery is a journey to which there is no end. "No room or illusion (of being unpunished) will be left for corrupt officials."
