Myanmar's regime filed corruption charges against numerous members of the deposed Yangon regional NLD government last week, but exempted former chief minister U Phyo Min Thein, who testified against State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.


Former Yangon agriculture, livestock, forestry, and energy minister U Han Tun and mayor U Maung Maung Soe were charged with abuse of power under Article 55 of the Anti-Corruption Law, as well as former deputy mayor U Soe Lwin, Yangon City Development Committee secretary Daw Hlaing Maw Oo, and joint secretary U Than for aiding and abetting corruption under Articles 55 and 63.

 

The majority of the complaints concern Yangon Petrol (YP) Co's acquisition of land from the regional government of U Phyo Min Thein.
As part of U Phyo Min Thein's objective to lower fuel prices, the company opened a chain of filling stations in Yangon in 2019.
According to reports, the regional government awarded sites at below-market rentals, and YP was expected to offer fuel at competitive pricing.


The report of the regime's Anti-Corruption Commission included no mention of YP, which was run in collaboration with the provincial government.


However, the junta has imprisoned and accused U Zin Min Aung, a significant YP shareholder, for violating the country's anti-corruption laws.

 

According to the commission, the regional administration approved the registration of 63 acres in Dagon Township under the hands of a YP director.
According to the report, the director sold the land to a private company for 6.5 billion kyats.


Except for U Phyo Min Thein, who testified that he provided Daw Aung San Suu Kyi seven viss (approximately 11.4kg) of gold and US$600,000, the dictatorship has accused practically all Yangon ministers with alleged corruption.
Last month, the government sentenced her to five years in prison based on his testimony.


Apart from U Phyo Min Thein's charges, there was no additional evidence.
