SHANGHAI -- A female fugitive wanted for graft under an Interpol red notice returned from the United States to China and turned herself in on Tuesday, said Shanghai police. The 59-year-old suspect surnamed Min was previously a saleswoman at a cable company in Shanghai. She was accused of embezzling 300,000 yuan ($45,800) of the company's fund and fled to the United States in 2001. In 2014, Interpol issued a "red notice" for Min, who has US nationality. She was persuaded by Shanghai police to return and hand herself in. She flew back to Shanghai on Tuesday evening. The arrest is part of Operation Fox Hunt 2017, a campaign to catch economic fugitives hiding overseas. This year, Shanghai police have arrested 64 suspects under the operation. personalised rubber bracelets ukman city wristbandsmake your own wristbandrubber arm bandscustom rubber wristbands
A court in East China's Jiangsu province has authorized the use of customized ringtones to shame people into paying their court-ordered debts, reports thepaper.cn. Ten individuals have already been hit with the telecom version of the "Scarlet Letter." People who call the mobile phone number of those on the list are forced to listen to a pre-ring prompt produced by local court in Guanyun County. "The user of the number you've dialed has been listed as someone who is avoiding debt repayments ordered by the Guanyun County People's Court. Please urge this person to fulfill their legal obligations. The Guanyun People's Court thanks you for your support." As mobile phone numbers in China now require real-name registration, changing the phone number will not put an end to the 'ringtone shaming.' Wang Yong with the Guanyun County People's Court says the new campaign is specifically focused, and has so far only targeted people the Court knows have the means to repay their debts. The majority of the ten people on the new 'shame campaign' are local business owners. Authorities in China have already been given a variety of options this year to try to deal with 'deadbeat debtors,' including bans on the purchase of airline tickets, restrictions on train travel services and driving privileges, on top of restrictions to additional loans.
