100-fugitive list suspect repatriated from US

Yang Jinjun, one of the most-wanted Chinese fugitives, was repatriated from the United States on Friday through the enhanced judicial cooperation between the two nations, according to the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Yang, 57, a native of Zhejiang province, was returned to China after 14 years on the run in the US. He is the first criminal suspect on a 100-fugitive list to be repatriated from the US.

Yang appears in Xinhua News Agency photos escorted by two Chinese police officers as he was being taken away from an airport in Fuzhou, Fujian province. He arrived on a business jet instead of commercial airliner, which is often used to send fugitives back to China.
