BEIJING — Public security organs across China launched investigations into over 6,800 criminal cases of illegal fundraising in 2020, the Ministry of Public Security said on Jan 7.

The cases involved more than 110 billion yuan (about $17 billion). Some 16,000 suspects were captured, with over 80 fugitive suspects arrested overseas, according to the ministry.
