Nation shows its determination to tackle cross-border graft
More than 1,300 fugitives, including 307 corrupt government officials, were repatriated to face trial in China last year as the National Supervisory Commission made progress in promoting law enforcement cooperation with other countries.
The commission said 1,335 fugitives were brought back to China in 2018, with over 3.5 billion yuan ($515 million) in ill-gotten gains recovered. The number of fugitives and amount of funds recovered rose by 3 percent and 261 percent, respectively, year-on-year.
