Criminal Jurisdiction

Following charges brought by a US grand jury against two Bank of China officials for money laundering, racketeering and fraud, the BOC spokesman said that it supports the action by the US government and will cooperate with the US side on the investigation. He said, "The clampdown on money laundering and corruption is the common responsibility of all the countries in the world,"

The crimes allegedly took place in south China in 2001. The suspects fled to the US through Hong Kong and Canada.
