Chinese police capture Red Notice fugitive
LANZHOU -- Police in northwest China's Gansu Province have caught a fugitive suspected of fraud.
Yang Guoqing, who appeared on a list of 100 "Red Notice" suspects who fled overseas, was captured by police in Lanzhou, capital of Gansu, on Dec. 2 after he arrived in Guangdong Province, according to Lanzhou police.
He was brought back to to Lanzhou on Friday.
In June 2002, Yang set up a refinery with partners in Lanzhou. Three months later, Yang fled with a large amount of company funds, which he obtained under the pretext of buying petroleum.
Local police started investigating the case in 2005.
In April 2015, Interpol's National Central Bureau of China released a list of 100 fugitives suspected of involvement in corruption, all of whom were on Interpol's "Red Notice" for international arrest.
