Yangon: The Myanmar Junta Court has hit the civil leader who was overthrown by Aung San Suu Kyi with five new corruption allegations related to alleged recruitment and purchasing helicopters, sources close to AFP.
The Nobel Winner, 76, has been detained since the February 1 coup last year who triggered mass protests and bloody cracking acts on differences of opinion with more than 1,400 civilians were killed, according to a local monitoring group.
Suu Kyi faces a raft of criminal charges and corruption – including violating the country’s official secret law – and if punished from all of them can face the elimination of more than 100 years in prison.
The fee is flattened against Suu Kyi on Friday afternoon and related to rent, maintenance, and helicopter purchases, said source.
Former President Myanmar U won Myint was also beaten with the same accusation, they said.
In December, the global state newspaper New Light of Myanmar said the couple would be prosecuted because they did not follow financial regulations and cause state losses for rent and the purchase of helicopters for former government ministers won Medicle Aye.
He rented a helicopter from 2019 to 2021 and used only 84.95 hours from 720 hours of rent, the paper said.
He is now hiding, along with a former member of another parliament.
A Myanmar court on Monday convicted Suu Kyi from three criminal charges related to importing and having a Walkie Talkies illegally and violated the coronavirus rules.
He was sentenced to four years in prison.
In December, he also received a two-year prison sentence for incitement to the military and for other Coronavirus violations.
Six prisoners may prevent Suu Kyi from participating in new elections that the military junta has vowed in August 2023.
Suu Kyi is expected to remain detained at home as the progress of other legal cases.
Journalists have been banned from attending special court hearings in Naypyidaw and their recent lawyers are prohibited from talking to the media.
The daughter of a hero of independence, Suu Kyi spent almost two decades lasting a long time from the arrest of a house under the former military regime.
The time in the office was damaged by the handling of his government from the Rohingya refugee crisis where hundreds of thousands fled to Bangladesh in 2017 when they faced rape, combustion and extraordinary murder in the hands of Myanmar’s military.
Before the coup, Suu Kyi was at the top started the five-year longer as the country’s de facto leader after the Democratic League won a landslide in November 2020.
AFP was looking for comments from Myanmar Junta – who called himself the State Administration Board.
