The Ministry of Public Security announced tonight that on the afternoon of February 7, under the overall coordination of the Ministry of Public Security, Zhou Mouping, a fugitive criminal suspect of a "red notice" who had absconded abroad for eight years and was suspected of fund-raising fraud, was repatriated from Singapore.
From the end of 2008 to 2015, the criminal suspect Zhou Mouping fabricated bidding projects, buying and selling foreign exchange and other projects, and lured the public to invest under the guise of high interest, and the amount involved was huge, and he was suspected of fund-raising fraud. After the incident, Zhou Mouping fled abroad.
In July 2015, the Fujian public security organs filed a case against Zhou Mouping for investigation in accordance with the law; In October of the same year, Interpol issued a red notice against him.
In early February 2024, Singapore's law enforcement authorities arrested Zhou Mouping. Under the active coordination of the Chinese Embassy in Singapore, Zhou Mouping was repatriated to China on February 7.
The relevant person in charge of the "Fox Hunt" Office of the Ministry of Public Security said that in recent years, China's public security organs and Singapore's law enforcement agencies have continuously deepened law enforcement cooperation in the fields of combating transnational economic crimes, chasing fugitives and recovering stolen goods, and have achieved remarkable results. In the next step, China will always adhere to the principle of "pursuing those who flee from the ends of the earth", continuously strengthen international law enforcement cooperation, resolutely bring fugitive criminal suspects to justice, and earnestly safeguard social and economic security and the legitimate rights and interests of the people.
