Chinese authorities managed to return to the country 124 corruption suspects previously on the run in a 17-month international manhunt that started in October 2014, a report said Sunday.

The 124 suspects were repatriated or were persuaded to turn themselves in from 34 countries and regions, read a report on the work of the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP).

Seventeen out of 100 wanted fugitives listed in an Interpol "red notice" were also netted, according to the report to be presented by China's Procurator-General Cao Jianming.
