The United States has deported one of China’s most wanted criminal suspects, China’s Communist Party said.
Yang Jinjun who fled to the US in 2001, is accused of bribery and embezzlement, state media said.
He is the first alleged fugitive to be brought to China under the high-profile Sky Net initiative, the party’s internal disciplinary body said.
The plan is aimed at helping bring to justice corrupt Chinese officials who have fled overseas.
In April, Beijing published a list of 100 wanted economic fugitives.
