BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) -- A fugitive on a list of China's 10 most-wanted telecom and Internet fraud suspects has been detained by police, the Ministry of Public Security said on Friday.
Between April and July 2013, under the disguise of law enforcement personnel, Wang Wenlong, 27, allegedly conspired to defraud 3.88 million yuan (580,000 U.S. dollars) by luring victims to transfer money out of their accounts which Wang and his associates said were "being used for money laundering."
Wang was arrested on Friday early morning in southeast China's Fujian Province. He is now in custody, pending further investigation.
The ministry published the 10 most-wanted list on April 10, offering groups or individuals 50,000 yuan for information leading to the arrest of each suspect. Liao is the seventh suspect caught to date, according to the ministry.
