AdThe country's Anti-Corruption Commission is investigating the allegations and vowed to take action against Suu Kyi under the Anti-Corruption Law, the state-run newspaper Global New Light of Myanmar reported Thursday. More than 200 people have been killed by security forces since the coup, according to credible tallies.
