The MPS said the suspects were found in 32 countries and regions. Eight had been overseas for over 10 years.

Perhaps the best known among them is Dai Xuemin, the first to be captured from the list of 100 fugitives issued in late April.

Before escaping overseas 14 years ago, Dai was the manager of a securities broker in Shanghai. He was suspected of embezzlement and fled. Police captured Dai on April 25 in China after he sneaked back using a foreign passport.
