A corrupt Chinese official who had been on the run abroad since 2007 returned to China on Thursday and turned herself in to authorities, the Communist Party of China's disciplinary watchdog said here Friday.
Zhou Shiqin, 64, was a former finance official with the Shenyang Railway Bureau in northeastern China before she fled to Australia in October 2007 when she was charged with graft, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said.
She was one of the 100 fugitives listed in an Interpol "red notice."
With the space for graft and power abuse considerably narrowed at home after years of anti-corruption efforts, China is increasingly looking to for international cooperation in apprehending suspects overseas.
Just on Thursday, China launched "Sky Net 2016", its latest campaign to capture those still at large via international cooperation.
