BEIJING. — Interpol’s National Central Bureau of China has released a list of 100 wanted persons worldwide as the country intensifies the hunt for economic fugitives. On the list are officials and state organ functionaries allegedly involved in key corruption crimes based on ample evidence and on Interpol’s Red Notice for international arrest, said a statement released yesterday by the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI). The list, publicised on the CCDI website (www.ccdi.gov.cn), is complete with the suspects’ photos, ID and visa numbers, possible flight destinations and the crimes they allegedly committed. “Via Interpol and other channels, China has requested law enforcement organs in related countries to strengthen cooperation and help bring these suspects back to justice,” it said.

The move was part of the “Sky Net” anti-corruption campaign that aims to repatriate Chinese suspected of official or economic corruption.
