KHARTOUM: Sudan’s state prosecutor’s office said on Thursday jailed former President Omar Al-Bashir had been charged with corruption after the completion of an investigation.
Bashir was overthrown and arrested in a coup by the military on April 11 after months of mass protests against his 30-year rule.
The charges were related to laws on “suspected illicit wealth and emergency orders,” the public prosecutor’s office said.
Bashir had already been charged in May with incitement and involvement in the killing of protesters.
Prosecutors had also ordered his interrogation on suspicion of money laundering and financing terrorism.
It has not been possible to get a comment from Bashir since his ousting.
