Worldwide manhunt nets 50th fugitive

Suspect accused of contract fraud; global campaign reaches midpoint

A global campaign to catch China's most-wanted fugitives saw the return of its 50th corruption suspect, the top anti-graft watchdog said on Tuesday.

The milestone was achieved with the detention of Zhou Jiyang, 47, who has been on the run in Hong Kong for nine years, according to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. He was among 100 Chinese fugitives for whom Interpol issued red notices - international arrest warrants - in April 2015.
