China tries to bring back 3 fugitives in US

China hopes to further intensify cooperation with US law-enforcement agencies to bring back three fugitives accused of corruption at home and exposed in a visa fraud probe in California, an official familiar with the matter said on Monday.

The two countries will try to keep in close contact and share information on the case, said the official who did not wish to be named due to the sensitive nature of the case.

The three people gained their US "green cards" by faking documents, and as a result those green cards could be revoked. "We'll enhance cooperation with our US counterparts and ask for assistance in arresting and bringing them back to China."
