More corrupt officials may flee abroad, while others could take extra precautions to try to disguise their wrongdoings following enhanced measures to tackle graft, anti-corruption specialists warned on Monday.

Corrupt officials will also use more third parties, like family members or close friends, to take bribes on their behalf, according to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
