BEIJING: A Chinese national suspected of embezzling more than 13 million yuan ($1.9 million) has been escorted back from Thailand where he had stayed 11 years, China's Ministry of Public Security (MPS) said Friday.

Chen Zhiming, a former manager of securities business with the Shanghai branch of the Hainan SEG International Trust and Investment Corporation, escaped to Thailand after investing the money he embezzled from his company in stocks in 1998.

In October 2009, Chen was persuaded by the Chinese police liaison officer in Thailand to return to China and confess his crime. He was escorted back on December 29.

The MPS said the ministry will strengthen international communication and cooperation with foreign police in law enforcement and go deeper to seize criminal suspects at large overseas.

The case is under further investigation.
