A number of officials indulge in corruption to make extra money. So an effective way of curbing corruption is to prevent officials from easily laundering or transferring their ill-earned money abroad. Given the impact of the ongoing anti-corruption campaign, corrupt officials might accelerate the transfer of their dirty money overseas, making global coordination absolutely necessary to fight corruption.

Sniffing out corrupt officials and closing the channels of transferring ill-earned money overseas would be an effective deterrence for corrupt officials, because they would realize that their illegal fortune is not safe anywhere.

As part of the ongoing anti-corruption drive, we are devising more measures to hunt down corrupt officials who have fled overseas. It is important to let corrupt officials know they have nowhere to hide.

The increasing number of cases involving "naked officials" shows that they are indeed a high-risk group when it comes to corruption. By moving families and fortune overseas in advance, corrupt officials can flee the country as soon as they face investigation. Some cases of corruption also show that the exchange of power and money plays an important role in helping officials send their families abroad.
