A total of 61 fugitive corruption suspects were returned to China from overseas by the end of March, a Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) official said Monday.

Xu Jinhui, chief of the SPP's anti-graft bureau, told a press conference that the suspects either returned voluntarily or were arrested from 20 countries and regions, including the United States, Canada and Italy, since a campaign was launched in September.

Among them, 47 handed themselves in, Xu added.

The cases involved about 629 million yuan (over 100 million U.S. dollars).

Eight of the suspects' cases involved more than 10 million yuan, including a sub-branch head of China Citic Bank in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, who is accused of embezzling 320 million yuan of public funds; and general manager of a city construction development company in Tianjin, whose alleged abuse of power involved nearly 80 million yuan.
