NAYPYITAW, 10 June, 2021 (TON): On Thursday, Myanmar’s state run media reported that new corruption cases have been opened against Myanmar's ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other former officials from her government.

In a series of corruption charges, the media cited the Anti-Corruption Commission that the accusations related to the misuse of land for the charitable Daw Khin Kyi Foundation that she chaired, as well as earlier accusations of accepting money and gold.

It said, "She was found guilty of committing corruption using her rank. So she was charged under Anti-Corruption Law section 55."

Section 55 provides for up to 15 years in prison for those found guilty.
