Teamwork boosted on fugitives

Party's top watchdog to repatriate more corrupt officials seeking refuge overseas

China will strengthen judicial cooperation with other countries to repatriate corrupt fugitives after the International Criminal Justice Assistance Law took effect earlier this year, the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said ahead of International Anti-Corruption Day, which fell on Sunday.

The law, which was put into force in October, includes a section on the transfer of fugitives and confiscation of their illicitly gained assets abroad.
