2 brought back from Laos to face trial over bribery

Two people suspected of bribery have been brought back to face trial after three months on the run in Laos, according to the Ministry of Public Security.

Pang Shunxi, a former tax official from Tianjin, is suspected of accepting bribes, while An Huimin, former general manager of Hantong International Trade Ltd Co in Tianjin, has been accused of offering bribes, according to a statement released by the ministry.

They fled to Laos after prosecutors began investigating bribery allegations in December, the ministry said.
