Forty-nine suspects with duty-related crimes have been brought back from 17 countries and regions, including the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, to stand trial, according to the Supreme People's Prosecutorate on Monday.

According to the SPP, prosecutors have captured 13 fugitives and persuaded another 36 to return and confess their crimes since October, when the agency launched a special action targeting corrupt officials still at large overseas and confiscating their ill-gotten funds.

Most of the suspects were corrupt officials or directors from State-owned enterprises, including several senior officials.
