On January 7, the Canadian police handed over Wan Yong, who is suspected of embezzlement, China's Public Security Bureau at the Beijing airport. That evening, Wang was transported back to Ningpo.

While Wan Yong, 35, was working as an accountant for the Ningpo Bank of Communications, he manipulated the computer mainframe used to keep track of accounts. On May 8, 1999, Wan used the account of a business, which had already went under to transfer more than 1.4 million yuan into another account. Wan then took 1.1 million of that sum and fled. When the local authorities in Ningpo were certain that Wan had embezzled the money, they notified Interpol. The Canadian authorities caught Wan last November.
