Since in 2015, when that operation evolved into Operation Skynet, it was encouraged that...they had the Chinese top 100 fugitives they wanted to return to China in exchange for lighter sentences. It was believed that 26 of the top 100 economic fugitives resided in Canada, second only to the United States, which was 40.
Our involvement in this initiative is really restricted to facilitating visits to Canada by Chinese law officials to interview Chinese witnesses or suspects under the terms of the protocol on foreign criminal investigations in Canada, which governs the activities of foreign police in Canada. Only in the event that an investigation results in the laying of criminal charges would we confirm the investigation.
