Corrupt officials amass fake passports to flee
Print Edition
CORRUPT officials often have several fake passports at hand so that they can flee overseas if their crimes are exposed, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate said yesterday.
Officials involved in graft frequently collude with corrupt police officers to obtain false identities, added prosecutors.
Equipped with false ids, officials apply for passports under assumed names for a quick getaway when the net tightens.
China has long grappled with the problem of “naked officials” — government or Party officials whose families are overseas and who use these foreign family connections to illegally move assets or avoid probes.
This comes as Cao Jianming, head of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, said China will increase efforts to track down on overseas fugitives, confiscate illegal assets and stop other suspects leaving the country.
According to Cao, 10.14 billion yuan (US$1.65 billion) in cash and property was recovered and 762 corruption suspects caught at home or abroad last year.
China has some 500 economic fugitives abroad, most in the United States, Canada and Southeast Asian countries, according to the Ministry of Public Security.
