Police extradite Interpol red notice fugitive in Fox Hunt
A wanted suspect was recently returned to China from overseas as the campaign to capture economic fugitives continues, according to the Ministry of Public Security.
When the suspect, who was identified only by his family name, Chen, was chairman of a pharmaceutical company in Shandong province, he allegedly forged more than 100,000 invoices from 2012 to 2013, causing losses in tax revenues amounting to over 170 million yuan ($27 million), said the ministry.
According to the police, the suspect fled overseas before the Binzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate approved his arrest on charges of invoice fraud in August. Chen was listed on an Interpol red notice in October.
The suspect was arrested in Antigua and Barbuda on Jan 5 during the "Fox Hunt" campaign, the ministry said.
Chinese police have been working closely with law enforcement departments overseas and will spare no effort to hunt down fugitives fleeing across the border, the ministry said.
The Fox Hunt campaign targets economic suspects, corrupt Party members and government officials who have fled overseas.
