Ousted Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir’s trial on
corruption charges has been postponed to August 15.
In April, Sudan’s army ruler General Abdel Fattah
al-Burhan said that more than $113 million worth of cash in three currencies
had been seized from Bashir’s residence.
He said a team of police, army and security agents
found seven million euros ($7.8 million), $350,000 and five billion Sudanese
pounds ($105 million).
Sudan suffered high rates of corruption during
Bashir’s rule, ranking 172 out of 180 countries in Transparency International’s
2018 Corruption Perceptions Index.
