BEIJING - A fugitive suspected of contract fraud returned to China Monday to turn himself in, according to the Communist Party of China's disciplinary authority.

Xu Xuewei, who was the actual controller of a science and technology company and a chemical fiber company based in Jiangyin City in east China's Jiangsu Province, fled to the United States in November 2012, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said.

He was number 91 on China's top 100 fugitives listed in an Interpol "red notice," and the 46th to return so far.

Xu's return shows there is no safe haven abroad, said the CCDI, urging fugitives to turn themselves in as soon as possible.
