Myanmar's military rulers have accused ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi of taking illegal payments of $600,000 (£430,000) and gold – but have provided no evidence.

The allegation is the strongest yet levelled by the military since it overthrew Ms Suu Kyi and the country's democratic leadership on 1 February.

Ms Suu Kyi has been held for the past five weeks in an undisclosed location and faces several charges including causing "fear and alarm", illegally possessing radio equipment, and breaking Covid-19 restrictions.
