Jiang Lei, a former senior official of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers and the Automotive Industry Committee under the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, is suspected of embezzlement, said a statement by an office in charge of fugitives and asset recovery under the central anti-corruption coordination group.

A procuratorate in Beijing started investigating his case in May 2007 and issued an arrest warrant in June. He was listed on an Interpol Red Notice in July the same year.

The law enforcement authority of New Zealand has provided coordination in Jiang's case, the office statement said.
