Former Yangon Chief Minister Phyo Min Thein was fined 100,000 kyat by the Military Council under Section 130 (a) of the Penal Code for improperly influencing the Election Commission. Military Council spokesman Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun confirmed to the BBC that the Yangon, Dagon Township Court passed the order on February 17.
” He has only one case. There are no other cases,” Major General Zaw Min Tun answered the BBC’s question. President U Win Myint Union Ministers and Prime Ministers, including State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, were charged under Section 130(a) of the Penal Code and sentenced to many prison terms.
Section 130(a) of the Penal Code is a section that can impose a maximum prison term of 3 years or a fine, and U Phyo Min Thein was only fined by the court. U Phyo Min Thein, a former executive of the NLD party, testified for the military council in the corruption case that he gave Daw Aung San Suu Kyi gold and dollars.
