On the evening of January 10, CCTV broadcasted a news feature film on Red Notice.In the lead-up of the first episode of the feature film, it tells the flight and repatriation process of Xu Chaofan, the former president of the Kaiping Branch of the Bank of China in Guangdong Province.

In October 2001, the Kaiping sub-branch case of the Bank of China shocked the whole country.Xu Chaofan, the former president of Bank of China Guangdong Kaiping branch, together with the two succeeding presidents Yu Zhendong and Xu Guojun, are suspected of colluding with corruption and misappropriating approximately US$485 million of Bank of China funds. The Bank of China Kaiping branch case is known as the largest bank corruption case in New China.

The three fled to Hong Kong, China, then flew to Canada, and then flew to the final destination, the United States.

Xu Chaofan said: At that time, there were certain difficulties in all aspects of law enforcement cooperation between the two countries. This is my own idea.It will be more difficult to catch me back.

As soon as they arrived in the United States, the three went to Las Vegas to gamble day and night.Part of their funds are stored in the VIP account of the casino. The money cannot be withdrawn and can only be withdrawn through gambling. The purpose is to launder the black money.However, a week later they discovered that all the money deposited in the casino and other accounts had been frozen.

Zhang Xiaoming, deputy director of the International Cooperation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice, said in the feature film: There is no extradition treaty, but this does not mean that there is no room for cooperation between China and the United States.When the Kaiping case was committed, in March 2001, the agreement on criminal judicial assistance between China and the United States came into effect.

According to U.S. law, there must be evidence that they violated U.S. laws in the United States before the U.S. can arrest and prosecute them.

Zhou Nansheng, a staff member of the Guangdong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, introduced: Illegal entry, marriage fraud, and money laundering. They had previously divorced their wives and asked their wives to marry an American.Divorcing and remarrying a spouse in a false marriage are criminal offenses that can be investigated by the United States, so they arrested and prosecuted him based on these.

Xu Chaofan said: Because I thought the U.S. government would not arrest me, I thought so at the time, but the situation was still different. Suddenly, a few agents from the U.S. FBI came to verify my identity.My wife and I caught it.

In September 2003, Xu Chaofan was arrested in the United States.Because their actions have seriously violated the laws of the United States, the United States will prosecute and sentence them.

Zhang Xiaoming said: There are 6 people including their wives. From the legal standpoint of the U.S. government, this criminal group has seriously violated the criminal laws of the United States.There are about 5 to 6 crimes under each person's name.

On April 16, 2004, co-defendant Yu Zhendong voluntarily returned to China for trial and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He has now been released from prison after serving his sentence.

Yu Zhendong said: The United States is also in prison, and this side is also in prison. Why not just go to prison in China and solve it, because if you go to prison in the United States, you solve the American part, and the Chinese part will pursue you.Not solved yet.

Xu Chaofan and Xu Guojun refused to be repatriated.Elected to be tried in the United States.

Cai Wei, deputy director of the International Cooperation Bureau of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission, introduced the situation at the time and said: He refused to accept it and was very arrogant.He said that I knew I was your target, but if I cooperated with you, I would go to jail for at most two years.His attitude is obviously unacceptable to us.I told him that if you don’t seize this opportunity, you will regret it.

In May 2009, the Las Vegas Federal Court sentenced Xu Chaofan to 25 years in prison, Xu Guojun to 22 years in prison, and both their wives to 8 years in prison. Xu Chaofan appealed, but the final result was stillThe original judgment is upheld.

Xu Chaofan said: I was confused at the time. How could I get such a heavy sentence?

On September 24, 2015, Xu Chaofan's wife, Kuang Wanfang, was forcibly deported to China immediately after serving her sentence in the United States.

In July 2018, Xu Chaofan returned to China and surrendered.
