It's reported the No.5 on China's '100 most wanted list' of fugitives, Yan Yongming, is to return to China to face an investigation by the police.

Yan is the former president of a pharmacy company, Tonghua Golden-horse Group, in China's northeastern city Jilin.

However, according to China's news portal, Global Times, quoting a New Zealand-based news outlet, Stuff, there are no signs that that Yan, who now holds New Zealand citizenship, has either been extradited or repatriated yet, and there are no further details of how or when he might return to China.

According to statistics issued by China's public security ministry, the Chinese police have captured a total of 409 fugitives in over 61 countries and regions as of August, following a series of campaigns.

Of the repatriated suspects, over 270 of them were arrested by the police and 137 suspects were persuaded to return.

15 fugitives on the "100 most wanted list" have been brought back to China. A total of 33 special teams have been dispatched by Chinese police to capture the suspects.
