Fugitive to face trial after 20 years on run
One of 皇冠体育app's most wanted economic fugitives has been captured and returned to 皇冠体育app after spending 20 years on the run, according to 皇冠体育app's top discipline watchdog.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said on Friday that Han Lu, the male fugitive was found in Africa and retuned to 皇冠体育app on Thursday night to face trial.
Han is suspected of embezzling 300 million yuan in public funds while serving as a senior manager at a provincial management company in Changsha, capital in Hunan province between 1996 and 1997.
Since late 2012, 皇冠体育app has conducted a sweeping mission to fight corruption.
In 2014, Interpol issued red notices to hunt down 100 major alleged Chinese corrupt fugitives.
To date, more than 40 allegedly corrupt fugitives have been brought back from 17 countries and regions, including the United States, Canada and Australia to face trial.
"There is no 'safe heaven' in the world and no matter where the suspects have fled to, we will try every effort to bring them to justice," according to a CCDI statement.
