China will widen its hunt for corrupt officials who have fled overseas with a new campaign that extends to more government agencies and the central bank.

The “Sky Net” operation, starting next month, will focus on capturing fugitive officials, cracking down on underground banks, and confiscating misappropriated assets, according to a statement posted Thursday on the website of the Communist Party’s top anti-graft agency.
