Aung San Suu Kyi, a Civil Servants of Myanmar and Nobel Laureate who was overthrown, on Wednesday was found guilty of corruption and sentenced to five years in prison, AFP news agency reported, quoting sources.The Myanmar junta court accused the 76 -year -old leader of receiving a bribe of $ 600,000 bars and gold.
This case is the first of 11 accusations of corruption against Suu Kyi, each of which brought a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. The source quoted by the agents refused to be identified because the trial was held behind a closed door.Journalists are still prohibited from attending a court hearing, while lawyer Suu Kyi has been prohibited from talking to the media.
Since the military coup overthrew his government in February last year, plunged the country into a large civil riot, Suu Kyi had faced a series of criminal cases that could make him imprisoned for decades.The 76-year-old player has been sentenced to six years in prison for incitement against the military, violated the Covid-19 rules and violated the telecommunications law-even though he would remain under home prison while he was against other accusations.
More than 1,700 people have been killed and more than 13,000 were arrested in a strong action against differences of opinion since the coup, according to local monitoring groups.
