Fugitive from UAE extradited

Chinese police officers escorted a fugitive from the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday, the first such case since the two nations signed an extradition treaty in 2004, according to public security authorities. Police in Shanghai's Putuo district said that in September 2007, the suspect, surnamed Kan, falsely claimed that he was authorized to sell a property, swindling deposits of 2 million yuan ($289,000). He fled to the UAE in March 2008.
