Huge sums of cash have been discovered by anti-corruption investigators at ex President Omar al Bashir's former residence, less than two weeks after he was kicked out of office in a military coup.
Senior public prosecutor in Sudan, Mutasim Mahmoud, in a statement, announced the seizure of $351 million, €6,7 million, and SDG 5 billion ($105 million) at the residence.
He confirmed that the cash is secure within the vaults of the Bank of Sudan, and that charges will be filed against Bashir under the foreign exchange and money laundering law.
Reuters quoted a source in Sudan’s judiciary as saying suitcases loaded with more than $351,000, €6m ($6.7m; £5.2m) and five billion Sudanese pounds ($105m) were found at Bashir’s home. The agency said the source also confirmed that Bashir was under investigation and that prosecutors would “question the former president in Kobar prison”.
