BEIJING, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) -- A total of 1,421 fugitives, including 28 Red Notice fugitives, were brought back to China during the country's 2020 anti-corruption manhunt operation, the country's top anti-graft body said Monday.
In addition, about 2.95 billion yuan (around 457 million U.S. dollars) in illicit gains was retrieved during the operation, according to the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission.
