China's most-wanted fugitive jailed for eight years for graft

BEIJING, Oct 13 (Reuters) A Chinese court on Friday jailed the country's number one most wanted fugitive for eight years for graft and taking bribes, state media said.
Yang Xiuzhu, a former deputy mayor of Wenzhou city in the booming eastern province of Zhejiang, gave herself in to Chinese authorities late last year, returning from the United States after spending 13 years in hiding.
China ranked Yang top in a 2015 list of its 100 most wanted graft suspects who were targeted with Interpol red notices. Many on the list had fled to the United States, Canada or Australia. Some 48 have since returned to China.
