According to the report, the Myanmar military played a video of the testimony of the former Governor of Yangon Province, U Phae Minden, at the press conference.
U Phu Min Teng said that he had visited Aung San Suu Kyi many times and gave her money "when needed."
Another real estate businessman also narrated his "bribery" to Aung San Suu Kyi in a video.
Aung San Suu Kyi’s lawyer previously denied the corruption allegations against her, saying that the accusation had no evidence and was an attempt by the military to frame Aung San Suu Kyi and make her lose credibility.
Demonstrators supporting the NLD also stated that this is an insult to Aung San Suu Kyi and an unreasonable charge.
According to a Reuters report on the 23rd, Burmese military spokesman Jo Min Tun said at a press conference that day that he regretted the deaths of 164 people during the demonstration, but he also accused the demonstrators of violently destroying construction facilities and inciting riots.
Jomin Tun said that Myanmar's military leaders currently have no plans to lift restrictions on the domestic Internet because the country’s violence was caused by online incitement.
He also said that the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces Min Anglai expressed his willingness to continue to be friends with the international community.
The military is cooperating with five neighboring countries and respecting their opinions.
On the 22nd, Myanmar State Television stated in the evening news that after the Federal Assembly Representative Committee was declared an illegal organization by the National Management Committee, 15 members of the Federal Assembly Representative Committee who held important positions in the Federal Assembly Representative Committee have been prosecuted and placed on the wanted list.
The Representative Committee of the Federal Parliament was established on February 5 by more than 300 members of the Democratic League who won the general election last year.
Europe and the United States continue to impose sanctions on the Myanmar military.
According to a report by CNN on the 22nd, the US Secretary of State Blincol announced on the same day that it would impose sanctions on two individuals and two entities related to the Myanmar military.

The two entities were the 33rd Light Infantry Division and the 77th Light Infantry Division of the Myanmar Army.
The European Union also announced on the 22nd that it will impose sanctions on 11 individuals related to the sudden change in Myanmar's political situation.
