Abstract: The recovery of fugitives and the recovery of stolen money are the two main themes of international cooperation against corruption at present. While the recovery of fugitives is to repatriate corrupt offenders to bring them to justice, the recovery of stolen money is to recover illegal income and proceeds illegally transferred abroad. In the context of international cooperation in the recovery of fugitives, we should strengthen law enforcement cooperation, realize information sharing, improve the mechanism of anti-flight work, and combine the repatriation of immigration law with the system of exhorting criminal suspects to return home. In the context of international cooperation in the recovery of stolen money, bilateral cooperation should be further strengthened, and the illegal transfer of assets should be combated at the source as soon as possible through mutual recognition and enforcement of the confiscation order system to implement extraterritorial recourse and the effective use of anti-money-laundering mechanisms. China should actively intervene in the topic of international anti-corruption cooperation, providing China's wisdom and China's scheme for the international cooperation in recovering fugitives and stolen money, enhancing the voice of developing countries in the international cooperation of anti-corruption and the recovery of stolen money, and striving to promote the sustained and healthy development of anti-corruption international cooperation.

Key words: recovery of fugitives, recovery of stolen money, international cooperation, extraterritorial prosecution, recovery sharing mechanism
