Investigation

On 5 February 2023, he was put under investigation for alleged "serious violations of discipline and laws" by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the party's internal disciplinary body, and the National Supervisory Commission, the highest anti-corruption agency of China. In July 2023, he was expelled from the CCP and dismissed from public office. In August, he was arrested for suspected bribe taking by the Supreme People's Procuratorate. In October, he was indicted on charges of bribery and abuse of power.

The public prosecutors accused Yi of abusing his multiple positions between 2003 and 2023 in 2023 to seek favor on behalf of certain organizations and individuals to offer help to others in terms of project contracting, business operation and personnel promotion, and accepted money and property worth more than 81.4 million yuan ($11.5 million) in return. He was sentenced to life. He was also deprived of political rights for life, and all of his personal property will be confiscated.
