A Chinese red notice fugitive who was wanted for embezzling millions of Yuans while working as a finance executive at a company was extradited from Morocco after fleeing China, announced the Chinese Ministry of Public Security.
The arrest of the defendant, Luo, is the first case of collaboration between the two countries since an extradition pact went into effect in 2021, according to several Chinese media reports.
Police first filed the case for investigation in February 2020, and in July 2022 Interpol issued a red notice to capture Luo.
He was arrested by Moroccan police in April of this year, and his extradition was accepted by a court in late October. This Saturday, Luo was effectively transported to China.
The successful extradition, according to a representative of the Chinese Ministry of Public Security, is important for strengthening judicial and law enforcement cooperation between Morocco and China.
The representative committed to stepping up efforts to fortify global collaboration and apprehend foreign criminal offenders.
The case was part of China’s years-long efforts to capture foreign economic fugitives.
