A fugitive Taiwanese
politician who fled to
mainland China to escape a
jail term has been returned to
the island, television
pictures showed. Pai Hung-sen,
former council speaker of the
central Changhua County, was
handcuffed upon arrival at
Taipei's Sungshan airport.
Mr Pai was sentenced to three
years and ten months in jail
by the High Court for
embezzling government funds.
He fled a hospital in December
where he was being treated for
heart disease. The report said
he was arrested in Fujian
province last week and sent
back to Taiwan under an
agreement signed between
Taipei and Beijing.
