**Commission for Discipline Inspection and State Supervision Commission** reported on December 14 that recently, under the overall coordination of the International Pursuit and Recovery of Stolen Goods of the **Anti-Corruption Coordination Group, after the solid work of the Shanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, Chang Gaocai, a "red notice person" and a suspect in the crime of fleeing public office, returned to China and surrendered.
Chang Gaocai, male, born in January 1957, former secretary of the party group and director of the Shanxi Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, was suspected of duty crimes and fled in 2019.
In September 2019, the Shanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision filed a case for review and investigation. In April 2022, Interpol issued a red notice against him. The case-handling organs have sealed, seized, or frozen their assets involved in the case in accordance with law.
* The person in charge of the Fugitive Pursuit Office said that Chang Gaocai's return to China and surrender is an important achievement of the discipline inspection and supervision organs in implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the deployment of the Second Plenary Session of the ** Commission for Discipline Inspection, and continuing to carry out the "Sky Net Operation". Overseas is not extrajudicial, and there is never a way out for fleeing. We will continue to deepen international cooperation in the fight against corruption, persist in pursuing those who have escaped and pursue them to the end, and advise those who have fled abroad to have a clear understanding of the situation, give up stubborn resistance, return to China as soon as possible and surrender, and strive for leniency.
