17 illegal online lending platform suspects return from Thailand

 

Economic crime suspects are escorted to arrive at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, Oct. 26, 2018. Seventeen fugitives suspected of illegal fundraising via online lending platforms returned to Guangzhou from Thailand on Friday. Since June, a number of senior managers running illegal online peer-to-peer lending platforms have fled overseas due to a capital crunch. The Ministry of Public Security has thus dispatched specialized working units overseas to catch these economic crime suspects. (Xinhua/Zhang Jiayang)
