Final arguments for the case will be made later Tuesday.

If the verdict is guilty, it is unclear where authorities would detain Suu Kyi if not at her lakeside home.

The compound was initially owned by Suu Kyi's mother Khin Kyi, who died in 1988.

A quarrel over ownership of the property has been an issue for years. Khin Maung Aye has claimed Khin Kyi gave him a portion of the compound before she died.

Suu Kyi's lawyers deny the claim.

'The whole compound is legally possessed by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi,' said Nyan Win.

Asked whether the civil case may have been raised for political reasons, Nyan Win said, 'Of course, they want her to be busier.'

Khin Maung Aye was a former managing director of a news and periodicals enterprise under the ministry of information.
