Myanmar’s military junta has formally charged Aung San Suu Kyi and other officials with corruption after detaining her on Febuary 1st 2021.
This recent charge is one of the most serious of the seven cases against the civilian leader.
According to reports, the Anti-Corruption Commission alleges it found Suu Kyi had illegally accepted $600,000 as well as gold from the former Yangon region chief minister.
The Ministry has accused her of misusing her authority to lease a Yangon property as headquarters of a non-profit charity she founded in 2012. That resulted in the state losing out on 5.2 billion kyat in revenue.
Suu Kyi has been detained since Febuary.
Suu Kyi, who once defended the military’s brutal crackdown on Rohingya minorities at the International Court of Justice, also faces several other criminal charges.
Suu Kyi’s alleged violations are as follows:
For breaching the Export and Import Law, which carries a maximum prison sentence of three years.
Breaching a section of the Telecommunications Law, up to one year in prison.
Breaching the Natural Disaster Management Law, up to three years in prison.
Incitement under Section 505 (a) of the penal code, up to 2 years in prison.
Breaching the Burma Official Secrets Act, up to 14 years in prison.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.
A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.
Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.
On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.
Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.
Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
