Most-wanted fugitive returns

Kong Guangsheng, one of China's most-wanted fugitives, returned to the Chinese mainland and turned himself in to the police on Thursday, according to the country's top anti-corruption watchdog. Kong, former general manager of Shengli Oilfield Qingdao Petroleum Industry Co, was suspected of embezzlement and fled to Hong Kong in 2012, according to a statement released by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Kong is the 48th to return from a list of 100 fugitives after Interpol issued a "red notice".
