'Fox Hunt 2014' proving successful in tracking down corrupt officials

The latest judicial cooperation between China and the United States to nab economic fugitives has made major progress, with more than a dozen suspects brought back from the US to face trial, a senior official from the Ministry of Public Security said.

Most of the fugitives face charges of embezzlement, misappropriation of public funds and fraud involving contracts and fund-raising, said Liu Dong, deputy director from the ministry's economic crimes investigation bureau.
