BEIJING, Jan. 27 -- China seized 857 fugitives hiding overseas in a campaign against suspected of economic criminals, the Ministry of Public Security said Wednesday.

The fugitives, scattered across 66 countries and regions, include 366 who turned themselves in to police as part of "Fox Hunt 2015", the ministry said.

A total of 212 are involved in cases with over 10 million yuan (1.52 million U.S. dollars) involved, and 39 have been on the run for over a decade, one having evaded the law for 21 years.

"Fox Hunt 2015" was launched in April and ended in December. Police across the country cooperated in data integration and information sharing, leading to the capture of 114 fugitives with new identities overseas.

Over 50 working groups went overseas to work with foreign law enforcement agencies and Chinese embassies.

A total of 283 suspected were captured in Southeast Asia. Two suspects were repatriated from the United States.
