A man wanted for fraud in China has been arrested in Johannesburg by the Interpol National Central Bureau office in South Africa.
Interpol had circulated a Red Notice to all member countries to locate and provisionally arrest the 57-year-old Chinese national, police spokesperson Lt Col Amanda van Wyk said.
His fugitive status was flagged when he applied for a visa at the US embassy in Sandton.
He was arrested on Tuesday and made his first appearance in the Randburg magistrate's court on Wednesday.
