Pledge to close ‘escape route’ for graft suspects
Print Edition
A SENIOR Chinese prosecutor has pledged greater efforts to pursue fugitive corruption suspects and to “resolutely cut off their escape routes.”
At a conference on international manhunts for duty-related crime suspects yesterday, Qiu Xueqiang, deputy procurator-general of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, urged prosecutors to increase efforts to prevent suspects escaping.
This includes getting early warnings, Qiu said.
Prosecutors should improve information sharing with other authorities and formulate detailed plans to prevent suspects absconding.
Qiu told prosecutors to target suspects in China and abroad, taking measures to pursue suspects at large while also stopping potential fugitives.
“China will never let corrupt officials escape punishment of the law,” Qiu said.
The SPP on Friday announced the launch of a six-month campaign targeting fugitive suspects of corruption and other duty-related crimes.
Also yesterday, Chinese police announced that they have held 102 suspects in a separate campaign targeting corrupt officials and suspects in economic crimes who fled abroad.
And in the latest development, Chinese police yesterday escorted four suspects held in Thailand to Beijing.
One of the four was suspected of loan fraud and has been at large for 10 years, the Ministry of Public Security said.
China launched Fox Hunt 2014 operation in July to “block the last route of retreat” for corrupt officials.
“We have confidence, as well as the ability, to bring suspects to justice, no matter to where and how long ago they fled,” said Meng Qingfeng, director of the economic crime investigation bureau of the MPS.
