A court in Myanmar again finds Aung San Suu Kyi guilty of corruption
A court's conviction against Aung San Suu Kyi leaves her with 33 years to serve in prison following a series of politically tinged prosecutions since her government was toppled in February 2021.
BANGKOK — A court in military-ruled Myanmar on Friday convicted the country's ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi of corruption, sentencing her to seven years in prison in the last of a string of criminal cases against her, a legal official said.
The court's action leaves her with a total of 33 years to serve in prison following a series of politically tinged prosecutions since the army toppled her elected government in February 2021.
The case that ended Friday involved five offenses under the anti-corruption law and followed earlier convictions on seven other corruption counts, each of which was punishable by up to 15 years in prison
