A Sudanese judge formally indicted former president Omar al-Bashir on charges of possessing illicit foreign currency and corruption on Saturday, reports Trend citing to Reuters.
Questioned in court for the first time, Bashir said that he had received $25 million from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman but that he had not used the money for private purposes.
A lawyer for Bashir said that his client denied the charges against him and that witnesses for the defence would be presented at the next hearing.
