CCDI shows progress in hunt for corrupt officials

As the G20 throws the spotlight on global anti-corruption efforts, China has released fresh data on its progress in capturing former officials accused of fleeing abroad with billions in public money.

The nation is more than two years into an intensive campaign to track down and repatriate economic fugitives overseas, part of wider measures to tackle graft.

So far, 2,020 economic fugitives, including 342 former officials, have been returned to China from more than 70 countries and regions since 2014, according to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
