Barely two weeks after being ousted from power and being sent to prison, the former Sudan untouchable President is now topping the news channels for the same bad news.
The security details have confirmed the seizure of millions of cash found in a house belonging to the former President.
A large hoard of cash has been found at the home of Sudan’s ousted president Omar al-Bashir and he is now being investigated for money laundering, prosecutors said on Saturday.
Security services found euros, dollars and Sudanese pounds totalling more than $130m (£100m).
A source in Sudan’s judiciary told Reuters news agency that suitcases loaded with more than $351,000, €6m ($6.7m; £5.2m) and five billion Sudanese pounds ($105m) were found at Mr Bashir’s home.
The source also confirmed Mr Bashir was under investigation, telling Reuters prosecutors would “question the former president in Kobar prison”.
A picture carried by the Netherlands-based media outlet Radio Dabanga shows men in army uniforms standing over what appears to be several sacks full of cash.
The money, which Radio Dabanga says was shown to reporters, was stuffed in bags designed to contain 50kg (110lbs) of grain.
The general public prosecutor announced on Saturday evening that Mr Bashir is being investigated for money laundering after cash was found at his home.
The Sudanese military toppled Mr Bashir on April 11 but demonstrators, led by The Sudanese Professionals Association, have vowed to stay on the streets until there is a move to civilian rule.
Mr Bashir is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes in the country’s Darfur region.
Sudan’s military, however, says it will not extradite him and will try him in the country instead.
