Chinese police say they've verified the country's most wanted fugitive, businessman Guo Wengui, used fabricated and distorted information to mislead the public. CGTN's Paolo Montecillo has the story.

In October 2017, what was passed off as a confidential Chinese government document about sending police to the US was published by Guo Wengui. It drew the attention of foreign media and the international community.

GUO WENGUI SUSPECT "The document is from the National Security Commission of the Communist Party of China. It has been identified by the United States and other countries. It's real."

Guo is the "actual controlling shareholder" of Beijing Pangu Investment and Beijing Zenith Holdings. In 2014, he fled to the US under suspicion of multiple crimes. He is currently listed under an Interpol "red notice" for wanted fugitives. In the following days and months, Guo continued publishing what he described as confidential Chinese government files. Their contents range from the DPRK's nuclear issue to propaganda work, and the scientific industry.

Results of an investigation by Chinese police showed all the documents were fabrications: the handiwork of twin brothers from Guangdong Province, Chen Zhiyu and Chen Zhiheng. The fabrications were done under Guo's orders. The brothers are now under police custody. Police also found a large number of fabricated official documents on their computer, including files from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. What motivated the two brothers, and what is their relationship with Guo?

CHEN ZHIYU SUSPECT "My child was diagnosed with autism and is now under treatment in Canada. My salary is not enough to cover the hospitalization costs. In order to get Guo's aid, I decided to fabricate those documents for him."

CHEN ZHIHENG SUSPECT "I wanted to help my brother to deal with his financial difficulties."

In August 2017, they agreed to provide Guo with fabricated documents. In return, Guo paid them four thousand US dollars a month. Guo offered them extra money to work harder.

GUO WENGUI SUSPECT "I will donate fifty million US dollars to you after you complete the mission."

According to officials, the two brothers gave Guo more than 30 fabricated official documents in the name of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. How were these fabrications made?

CHEN ZHIYU SUSPECT "There are two official seals on the document. One is from General Office of the State Council, another one is from the office of the National Security Commission of the Communist Party of China. I found the seal of the General Office of the State Council online. However, I could not find the other one. I searched online and found a seal of the State Commission Office of Public Sector Reform, which was similar to the seal I wanted. Then I changed the words and fabricated the seal."

Chen said last September, Guo repeatedly asked them to provide documents related to Taiwan, the DPRK, and the United States.

GUO WENGUI SUSPECT "We have to try our best to fabricate some documents related to the DPRK. It's very important."

CHEN ZHIYU SUSPECT "It was at that time that the UN approved sanctions on the DPRK following its nuclear test. Guo thought that was a good time to defame China."

Chen said all fake documents were made for Guo. Once a title was decided, they would search the internet for the correct terminology to use. The contents, serial numbers, and security classifications were entirely made up. That echoed Guo's own instruction: The truth is not important. Chinese police say the investigation will continue, and that details of the case will be published soon. Paolo Montecillo, CGTN.
