SHANGHAI: Chinese police said today they had taken “criminal coercive measures” against company executives at Chinese wealth manager Zhongzhi Enterprise Group and related suspects, and that the recovery of “stolen goods” was underway.
The Chaoyang Public Security Bureau announced the development in its probe on its WeChat account. It launched its investigation in November.
Such measures could include putting suspects under residential surveillance, detention or arrest.
Zhongzhi did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Zhongzhi filed for bankruptcy liquidation in January after failing to repay debt. It apologised to investors in a letter last year that said it was heavily insolvent with up to US$64 billion in liabilities.
