Xiao Jianming, former chairman of Yunnan Tin Group in southwest China's Yunnan Province, has returned to China and turned himself in nearly seven years after fleeing overseas, China's top anti-graft authority announced on May 30.
Xiao, who was also a deputy director of the finance and economics committee of the provincial people's congress, is suspected of taking bribes, according to a statement by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China and the National Supervisory Commission.
Xiao fled overseas in December 2012 and was listed on the Interpol Red Notice in February 2015 after the Yunnan Provincial People's Procuratorate issued an arrest warrant in August 2014.
Xiao, born in Yunnan in November 1947, is the 58th of China's top 100 fugitives listed on the Interpol Red Notice who have returned to China, following the return of another fugitive Mo Peifen earlier this week.
The statement said Xiao's return showed China's resolve to hunt down corrupt fugitives, urging all other fugitives to surrender as soon as possible for leniency.
