[Source: Tianjin Daily] "Ministry of Public Security News Media" WeChat public account reported that recently, after traveling thousands of kilometers and flying for nearly 8 hours, an economic crime suspect who had been on the run for 4 years and fled to many countries in Southe

According to the WeChat public account of the "Ministry of Public Security News and Media", recently, Xiang Mouhua, an economic crime suspect who had been on the run for four years and had been on the run in many countries in Southeast Asia and other countries, was "fox hunted" after traveling thousands of kilometers and flying for nearly 8 hours. The police from the "Operation" working group escorted him back to the country from abroad. At this point, the last major suspect in a major illegal fund-raising case involving a large number of people in Dalian City, Liaoning Province has arrived.

At the end of February 2021, the High-tech Park Branch of the Dalian Municipal Public Security Bureau received reports from multiple people saying that they were defrauded of tens of millions of yuan in investment in a Dalian Technology Group Co., Ltd. After investigation, from 2015 to 2021, Xiang Hua and Wang Moumou created fictitious investment projects for the purpose of illegal possession, and raised funds from more than 36,000 people across the country to defraud more than 20 billion yuan. After the principal criminal Wang Moumou was captured, he was sentenced to life imprisonment by the court. Another main suspect, Xiang Mouhua, fled overseas in October 2020 and has disappeared since then.

The "Fox Hunting Office" of the Ministry of Public Security attached great importance to this and directed the Liaoning Public Security Economic Investigation Department to set up a working group to carry out overseas pursuits and conduct in-depth investigations into Xiang Hua's whereabouts. Over the past four years, Xiang Hua has been hiding in many countries to avoid pursuit. At the invitation of foreign law enforcement agencies, the police of the "Fox Hunt" working group went abroad many times to carry out law enforcement cooperation, and worked tirelessly to pursue Xiang Hua. In 2024, as "Operation Fox Hunt" continued to advance, the Chinese police continued to deepen law enforcement cooperation with relevant countries, continued to increase the arrest of fugitives through police cooperation, and finally found traces of Xiang Hua abroad. With the strong support of the Chinese Embassy and Consulate General in the local area, the local police will arrest a certain Hua and hand him over to China.

"I finally don't have to wander outside!" At 20:00 local time on August 1, at the handover site at an airport in an overseas country, the policeman handling the case who came to accept the handover sincerely confessed to a Chinese policeman, "The days in a foreign country are very difficult. After suffering, I will actively cooperate with the relevant departments in the investigation after returning to China.”

On the afternoon of August 2, after Xiang Mouhua was escorted into the country by the working group, he immediately transferred back to Dalian, Liaoning, and the case handling unit conducted further processing of the relevant cases.

"This is another successful example of deepening law enforcement cooperation between China and relevant countries. The Chinese police will continue to promote international law enforcement cooperation and pursue fleeing economic crime suspects to the end." "Fox Hunting Office" of the Ministry of Public Security The person in charge said.

So far, the special operation "Fox Hunt 2024" has achieved fruitful results, and has captured nearly 800 suspects of various types of fleeing economic crimes from more than 50 countries.
