Sudan's Bashir faces verdict in corruption trial

KHARTOUM (AA) – Former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir is due to appear in court in Khartoum on Saturday to hear the verdict in his corruption trial.

Al-Bashir, 75, faces charges of corruption, possession of foreign currency and receiving gifts illegally

He was removed from power by the military in April after months of popular protests against his 30-year rule.

After his overthrow, authorities seized 7 million euros, $351,000 and 5 million Sudanese pounds from al-Bashir's home.

Since his ouster, al-Bashir has been held in Kober prison in Khartoum.
