Cao Ying (pseudonym), a 28-year-old accountant who originally had a worry-free life, but because of his love affair, he went to the abyss of crime, embezzled 9 million yuan of public funds, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined 500,000 yuan by the Toutunhe District People's Court of Urumqi City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, for embezzlement.
In 2016, Cao Ying, who had just graduated from college, was admitted to a key middle school as an accountant in the school's canteen, managing the food expenses of more than 2,000 students in the school, handling millions of yuan per month. By chance, she met the sunny and handsome Li Jun (pseudonym), just like meeting the Prince Charming in her heart, and the two quickly established a romantic relationship.
"Honey, I want to buy a Ford Mustang."
"If you like it, I'll buy it, and I'll fix it for the money." In order not to disappoint her lover, Cao Ying set her sights on public funds. The first time she committed the crime, she was worried about being discovered, only took 10,000 yuan for the credit card, thinking about making it back later, after a period of time, seeing that no one noticed, the stone in Cao Ying's heart fell.
Cao Ying, who was getting bolder and bolder, took public funds several times and bought several luxury cars such as BMW and Porsche for Li Jun. Since then, Cao Ying has become more and more unscrupulous, taking advantage of the loophole that the cashier in the financial room has not deposited the transfer check, the cashier's private seal, and the financial official seal into the safe in accordance with the regulations, and has stolen 47 blank transfer checks, stamped them, and transferred the public funds out for her boyfriend to use in the form of invalid checks and false cheques, the highest of which amounted to 400,000 yuan.
Cao Ying has never returned from the road of crazy corruption, and has taken millions of yuan to decorate Li Jun's car decoration shop, pay workers' wages, buy expensive watches, handbags, etc. In addition, the two traveled domestically and internationally from time to time every year, and even used embezzled public funds to buy a marriage house.
In 2020, Cao Ying and Li Jun received a marriage license, and soon after the marriage, Cao Ying's embezzlement of public funds was exposed. After investigation, Cao Ying embezzled 9 million yuan of food expenses in the school canteen from 2016 to 2020.
The prosecutor handling the case said that young women must have a correct view of love and must not lose their way in love. When you are on the verge of breaking the law and committing a crime, you will only fall deeper and deeper after tasting the sweetness, and eventually ruin your future. At the same time, the case also reflects the loopholes in the financial systems of some units and the lack of effective financial supervision mechanisms. Public funds have been embezzled for several years without being discovered, and the school's supervision department has a great responsibility. To this end, the procuratorial organs issued procuratorial recommendations to the units involved in the case, requesting that rectification and reform be strengthened and the financial supervision and management system be improved.
