Sudanese court charges ousted president Omar al Bashir on trial for corruption with illegal acquisition and use of foreign funds
Sudan's autocratic former President Omar al Bashir sits in a cage during his trial on corruption and money laundering charges, in Khartoum, Sudan. August 24, 2019.
Authorities had "seized 6.9 million euros, $351,770 and 5.7 million Sudanese pounds at home which he acquired and used illegally," the judge said. "We were told that the crown prince did not want his name to appear ... and if the funds were deposited with Sudan's bank or the finance ministry, the source would have to be identified," he said.
An investigator had previously told the court that Bashir received $90 million in cash from Saudi royals. Protesters have called for Bashir to face justice not just over corruption, but for his role in the country's deadly conflicts.
