Sudan’s al-Bashir convicted on charges of corruption

A Sudanese court has convicted former president Omar al-Bashir on charges of corruption and illicit possession of foreign currency. He has been sentenced to two years of detention in a reform facility. The presiding judge has chosen to send the 75-year-old Bashir to a reform facility, rather than a prison, because of his age.

He also ordered the confiscation of millions of euros and Sudanese pounds found in his residence when he was toppled. Bashir’s problems don’t end there.

He’s also wanted by the International Criminal Court, which issued arrest warrants against him in 2009 and 2010, on charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Sudan’s Darfur region.
