Myanmar's state-run newspaper says fresh corruption charges have been filed against Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been detained since the military seized power in February.
The report in Thursday's edition alleges that Aung San Suu Kyi illegally accepted 600,000 dollars in cash and about 11 kilograms of gold from the former chief minister of the Yangon region.
The ousted pro-democracy leader is also alleged to have misused her authority when a foundation, which she chaired, leased a property.
Aung San Suu Kyi is facing six other charges, including illegally importing walkie-talkie radios. Court proceedings are already underway.
In May, she told her lawyers that her party, the National League for Democracy, exists "wherever the people are" in an apparent bid to encourage people not to give up hope for the democratization of their country.
The junta is apparently trying to prolong her detention by bringing a series of charges.

China has passed a law aimed at countering foreign sanctions.
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress adopted the law on Thursday. The law states that China has the right to retaliate against hegemonism and discriminatory measures directed at the country's citizens.
Foreign individuals placed on the government's anti-sanctions list may be denied entry visas or expelled from the country. Their assets in China may be seized, and they could be banned from doing business in the country.
Entities on the list can be expelled from the nation and their assets can be seized. They can also be banned from doing business.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said the law is necessary to safeguard the country's sovereignty, national dignity and core interests. He also said it's necessary to oppose Western hegemonism and power politics.
China has taken retaliatory measures against some of the Western nations that have imposed sanctions over issues in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Hong Kong.

An independent panel of lawyers chosen by an activist shareholder has concluded that a stockholders' meeting of Toshiba held in July last year was not fairly managed.
The panel was designated after an extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the Japanese industrial conglomerate in March of this year.
At the meeting, Toshiba's top shareholder Effissimo Capital Management sought an investigation into whether the July general shareholders' meeting was managed fairly.
Effissimo exercised its right as a major shareholder to put forward a proposal at the July meeting, calling for an increase in the number of external directors that it nominated. But the proposal was voted down.
The independent panel released findings from the probe on Thursday.
The report says that Toshiba colluded with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to influence shareholders votes to reject Effissimo's proposal.
The report also says Toshiba and the ministry applied pressure on shareholders, acting on the revised foreign exchange law allowing the ministry to exercise authority.
The law requires stronger regulation of foreign investment in firms that are key to Japan's national security.
The report also notes that in May of last year, then president of Toshiba, Kurumatani Nobuaki, attended a breakfast meeting with then Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga Yoshihide.
Kurumatani is believed to have briefed Suga using documents, including so-called "position paper" which articulates how to deal with activist shareholders based on the revised foreign exchange law.
Kurumatani reportedly acknowledged implicitly his attendance at the meeting with Suga. But he said he had no recollection of the position paper, and it is usually impossible to discuss an individual issue at such a meeting.
Toshiba said it will carefully review the investigation report and announce its comments at a later date. Toshiba plans to hold a general shareholders' meeting on June 25 and present a plan to select 13 directors.
But the report will likely have some impact.
The trade ministry declined to comment, saying it is still reviewing it.

Japan's Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide has left for the UK to attend the Group of Seven summit.
The meeting will be held in Cornwall in the southwestern part of England from Friday through Sunday.
Before his departure, Suga told reporters that he wants to exchange frank views with other G7 leaders, who share universal values, on the coronavirus pandemic, climate change, economic and regional issues, and other key topics. He said he wants to explain Japan's position and contribute to discussions.
Regarding the upcoming Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, Suga said he will explain that Japan will implement thorough anti-infection measures to host safe and secure Games, and seek support from other leaders.
It will be the first in-person G7 summit in two years. It will also be Suga's first face-to-face multilateral meeting since he took office in September last year.
His departure was delayed for about 90 minutes due to a mechanical trouble on the government plane he was scheduled to board.
He left Tokyo's Haneda Airport at around 8:30 p.m. on Thursday on the backup plane.
Japanese officials say the delay will not affect the schedule of the summit.
