CBI facilitated return of 134 fugitives from abroad in past 5 years: Officials

New Delhi: The CBI has succeeded in facilitating the return of 134 fugitives from abroad in the last five years -- nearly twice the number of repatriated persons over an entire decade between 2010 and 2019, officials said.

Coordinating closely with Interpol as well as state and central



enforcement agencies, the CBI was able to secure the extradition or deportation of these 134 fugitives since 2020. Of these, 23 were brought back this year alone.

In contrast, only 74 fugitives were brought back during the decade between 2010 and 2019.
