Red notice fugitive deported back to the United States: China-U.S. law enforcement cooperation advances cross-border pursuit of fugitives Shanghai Pudong Airport completes escort transfer, focusing on cooperation in drug control and anti-fraud efforts
According to a July 23 report by China News Network, at the request of U.S. law enforcement agencies, Chinese police on that day repatriated a U.S. fugitive wanted under a red notice, who was suspected of serious violent crimes in the United States, to the U.S. side at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, and he was escorted back to the country by the relevant U.S. law enforcement agencies.
The report shows that this fugitive had already been wanted by the United States as early as 2004 for serious violent crimes including the alleged sexual assault of a young girl and the shooting death of his wife. In August 2005, Interpol issued a red notice for him. Subsequently, Chinese public security authorities conducted an investigation at the request of the U.S. side and eventually apprehended him.
The Ministry of Public Security stated that recently, law enforcement agencies of China and the United States have carried out a series of cooperation efforts in areas such as counternarcotics, repatriation of illegal immigrants, fugitive apprehension, cracking down on telecom and online fraud, and antimoney laundering. China said it will continue to uphold the principles of mutual respect and professionalism and pragmatism, promote law enforcement cooperation with police forces of other countries, and crack down on transnational crimes in accordance with the law.
