Suspected Chinese drug dealer seized in Fiji

BEIJING, July 10 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese man suspected to be the main culprit of a drug ring was seized in Fiji after spending six years at large, the Ministry of Public Security said Wednesday.

Chen Guoming, a native of Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, fled the country after police busted a drug processing factory, confiscated 400-plus-kg methamphetamine and arrested eight suspects in 2006, according to a ministry statement.

The ministry issued a red-notice arrest warrant for the 48-year-old via Interpol in 2011.

Chen remained missing until late 2012 when New Zealand police reported seeing a man with similar facial features. It was later confirmed to be Chen, according to the statement.

Having received a tip-off that Chen planned to go to Fiji in June, Chinese police, in cooperation with Fijian police and immigration departments, captured the runaway on July 4 and took him back to China on July 6.
