Person fleeing from corrupt regime (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emigre

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'person' is the definition.
(emigre is a kind of person)

'fleeing from corrupt regime' is the wordplay.
'regime' can be anagrammed to 'EMIGRE'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for emigre that I've seen before include "Political refugee, especially a royalist fleeing the French Revolution" , "One leaving their nation" , "One fleeing" , "Citizen who has left native country" , "Regime (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
