Episode 5 of "Zero Tolerance": The window staff of the government affairs hall embezzled 69 million yuan of public funds in three years, and Chuzhou went to work and lived in Shanghai, going back and forth every day

In June 2021, the Intermediate People's Court of Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, auctioned the property involved in a corruption case, including a "Blue-Eyed White Dragon" game card.

It is a souvenir of an online game, without any actual function, but because of the global limited circulation of 500 copies, the market price is about 100,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, only half an hour after the start of the auction, the bidding was raised to 87 million yuan. Although this is only the result of netizens holding a hilarious mentality to bid arbitrarily, no one really pays the bill, resulting in a stream of auctions, but this game card and its former owner Zhang Yujie, but this has attracted high attention from the society.

On January 19, the fifth episode of the anti-corruption feature film "Zero Tolerance" was broadcast, revealing some financial personnel "petty official corruption", one case of which was Zhang Yujie, a staff member of the Real Estate Registration Center in Chuzhou City, Anhui Province.

Zhang Yujie's specific job is to receive citizens at the lobby window of the government service center, collect funds for buying houses, fill in custody agreements, and issue bank deposit vouchers and fund custody vouchers. After investigation, in the more than 3 years from 2016 to 2019, he used methods such as not recording the collection of payments and forging the facts of the collections, and successively embezzled more than 69 million yuan of public funds.

In March 2020, Zhang Yujie was retained.

Compared with traditional corruption cases, the property involved in this case is very special, and there are many game equipment. The reason why he had the idea of embezzling public funds was related to playing online games.

One day in 2016, a buyer brought tens of thousands of yuan in cash to handle the custody of funds, because according to the regulations, he could only pay by card, Zhang Yujie first went through the formalities for him, deposited cash into his card, and planned to help him swipe the card to pay the next day. Who knew that when playing the game that night, due to the recharge to buy equipment, I couldn't control spending all these tens of thousands of yuan.

"Charged and charged, charged to the card shows that the balance is insufficient. At the beginning, it was the most feared time, so I slowly saved it, and I returned it first, which was what I thought at the time. Zhang Yujie confessed, "As a result, no one has been found, and at this time, I began to feel that if I get a little more, it should be fine, and the back is really like an avalanche, and it can't stop at all." ”

"He felt that today I bought a pair of online game equipment, very neatly played a pass on it, and the value of my life was realized, and I did not take work and serving the people as my ideal." Putting him in a position where money can be easily obtained, it is strange that there is no problem. Fang Yangqing, a staff member of the Chuzhou Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, introduced.

He confessed that part of the stolen money was spent on playing games, and a larger part was "basically spent on spending with his girlfriend." He said that after starting to consume, he found that he could not control his desire to consume, "The amount of money in the back is not on, at this time, the mentality of breaking the jar and breaking it will come out again, and I feel that it has not been discovered anyway, so let's do it first." ”

The investigation found that Zhang Yujie's embezzlement of nearly 70 million yuan had been almost squandered by the time of the crime, and it was still spent on the game, and most of it was used for various high-end consumption.

He has made three girlfriends, bought clothes, watches and jewelry for them from various luxury brands, traveled to various places, and experienced various luxury enjoyments together. The most expensive luxury undersea suite in a hotel in Hainan costs 100,000 yuan a night, and Zhang Yujie and a girlfriend stay here for four consecutive nights. Naturally, he wouldn't tell his girlfriend how the money came from.

Discipline inspection personnel introduced, for a long time, Zhang Yujie worked in Chuzhou during the day, in fact, lived in Shanghai, every night after work from Chuzhou to Shanghai by high-speed rail, rented a house in Shanghai, rented 38,000 a month, and then took the earliest high-speed rail to Chuzhou in the morning. As long as there was no money to spend, Zhang Yujie once again reached out to public funds, embezzling more than 400 times in three years.

According to the analysis of the staff of the Chuzhou Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, the problem of dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty of the relevant personnel exposed by zhang Yujie's case is shocking, if someone pulls him, or if someone finds out, "Hey, Xiao Zhang, what is the matter with this small ticket you filled in today?" Even if I give him a wake-up call, unfortunately none of this has appeared. ”

After investigation, Chuzhou City, from the municipal real estate transaction department, to the real estate registration center and the transaction management section, has been derelict in its duties and responsibilities. According to the relevant system introduced by Chuzhou City in 2011, the fund custody window must be set up separately, one person receives the document, one person reviews, one person handles the voucher, and supervises each other, but the real estate registration center has never been implemented according to the system, from the main leader to the section chief, and no one even knows that there is this system.

It is precisely because of the extreme lack of unit management that Zhang Yujie dares to take risks again and again.

In 2019, he planned to get married, so he bought a second-hand villa in the name of his girlfriend, did not pay a penny for the house, and used his position to falsely open a set of fund custody procedures, and the purchase price was paid from the capital pool.

Subsequently, he resigned from the unit, fantasizing that he might be able to get away with it. But his wrongdoing was soon discovered, and Zhang Yujie was locked.

In November 2020, Zhang Yujie was sentenced to life imprisonment. In addition, a total of 19 party-member leading cadres and public officials at all levels have different degrees of responsibility and have been held accountable, among which the chief of the transaction management section and the deputy section chief have constituted the crime of dereliction of duty and have been sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.
