Ten suspects in major Chinese financial crimes have been arrested in Southeast Asia and repatriated in a recent campaign to catch overseas fugitives.

Eight of the suspects were caught in Malaysia and the other two were arrested in Thailand and the Philippines after they fled Malaysia, the Ministry of Public Security said.

A total 500 million yuan ($81.7 million) was involved in the crimes that the suspects allegedly committed, according to a statement on the ministry's website on Tuesday evening.
