Vietnam returns 3 economic fugitives to China

Xinhua, July 24, 2016 Adjust font size:

Vietnamese police have returned three Chinese economic fugitives arrested in Vietnam to a Chinese police working team in capital Hanoi and southern Ho Chi Minh city respectively on Saturday and Sunday.

According to Zhao Wanpeng, police counselor of the Chinese Embassy to Vietnam, upon receiving request for help to arrest the suspects from China, the Vietnamese police paid great attention and launched an operation soon.

After consistent efforts, the Vietnamese police located the suspects and arrested them in a short period of time, said Zhao.

This is the first time that Vietnam has transferred as many as three suspects at a time to China.

Police of the two countries started joint efforts to catch escaped suspects in 2014 and so far they have assisted each other in arresting and transferring over 60 suspects. Endit
