On March 10, 2010, when Han Yi was gambling in Laos, he learned that the staff of the Procuratorate Anti-Corruption Bureau had come to Laos looking for him, so he turned himself in. The man robbed a boss to help his girlfriend pay off her debts. Afterwards, whenever Han Yi lost money gambling, he would ask Ding to transfer public funds to his account. By the time the case broke, Han Yi and Ding had transferred over 4.4 million yuan from public funds in more than 50 instances. Among the misappropriated public funds by Han Yi and Ding were vaccination fees and training fees from multiple organizations, including vaccination costs for students at several primary schools. According to Han Yi's confession, he often gambled online. He would first contact people from the casino, then send money to their accounts before placing bets. Once, after losing money gambling with friends, Han Yi called the female cashier Ding from his unit, asking her to send some money so he could recover his losses and then return the money to the unit. Ding sent the money as Han Yi requested. Han Yi admitted that most of the embezzled funds were used for gambling, while the rest were spent on personal consumption and opening a bathing center.
In a recent report, in order to repay his gambling debts, Han Yi, head of the finance department at Fangshan District Disease Control Center, transferred over 4.4 million yuan of public funds more than 50 times, which included vaccination fees for students at several primary schools. Recently, Han Yi was sentenced to 15 years in prison by the First Intermediate People's Court for the crime of embezzling public funds, and Ding, the female cashier who helped him transfer the funds, was also sentenced to 12 years in prison for the same crime. In 2006, at the age of 26, Han Yi became the cashier at the Fangshan Disease Prevention and Control Center. After being promoted to head of the department, Han Yi "assigned" the female cashier Ding to misappropriate public funds more than 50 times. Later, Han Yi gave Ding a千里马 (Qianlima) car as a token of appreciation.
