Wanted Men: Back Taxes

Mackinnon Dept: For 11 years, Lai has fought his return to China to face allegations he masterminded a vast smuggling ring that cheated the government out of billions of dollars in duties on imported goods and bribed officials to look the other way, according to CBC. Lai was arrested in Vancouver late last week as the possibility of his removal drew near. First arrested in 2000 Lai Changxing, seen here in Vancouver in 2006, was taken back into custody last week. Don MacKinnon/Associated Press The immigration odyssey of one of China's most wanted men continues, after the Federal Court of Canada in Vancouver Monday granted a temporary stay to Lai Changxing blocking his deportation. He is also alleged to owe the Chinese government at least $300 million in back taxes. As reported in the news.
