Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir appeared for the first time in a dock in a Sudanese court after his demise arrived today, surrounded by high security, where he is being tried on corruption charges.

The photos show the presence of a group of citizens, including some of his relatives, the first session of the trial, amid a large security crowd, and the interaction of some of the audience with Bashir, who remained throughout the session inside the dock.

Al-Bashir tried to show a calm smile during the hearing, and waved more than once to the attendees of the court, and took pictures of him inside the cage, sometimes standing and sitting at other times.

Bashir appeared keen to wear the same traditional Sudanese dress he often wore on informal occasions, white robes and a white turban, as he appeared to be shaven.

From inside his black cage, Bashir listened to an interrogator's testimony about the money found in his home, but did not comment, which implies his approval of the testimony.

While in the cage, relatives in the courtroom chanted "Allahu Akbar" (God is great) and responded with the same words, sometimes waving and smiling at other times.

As for his property, media sources said that the interrogator quoted him as "a house in the neighborhood of Kfoury, farm and apartment, while my wife had two plots of land in Kfoury bought her car and took them the amount."

According to the same sources, al-Bashir confirmed that all the amounts in his possession handed over to Abdul Rahim Daqlo brother of the deputy chairman of the military council.

Al-Bashir faces charges related to possession of foreign currency in a way that is illegal, wealthy, and possession of Sudanese cash in excess of the amount allowed.


Sources of funds
Sources inside the court said Bashir revealed that the money found in his home after his isolation had nothing to do with the state, and that some of it was granted to him by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman through his office manager Taha Osman, a sum of $ 25 million.

The sources also pointed out that al-Bashir has received $ 35 million from the late Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, has been disbursed to various Sudanese.
He also revealed that he had received $ 1 million from UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, but did not know where he had disappeared.

The investigator told the court that nearly 7 million euros were found in Bashir's house, and in modest amounts in US dollars and Sudanese pounds.

Aladdin Abdullah, the prosecutor for anti-corruption and financial investigations, said in June that Bashir was accused of "possessing foreign money and receiving gifts informally."

Bashir was also charged in May with inciting and killing protesters, and prosecutors also want to question him about allegations of money laundering and terrorist financing.

The junta, which took power in Sudan after Bashir was ousted, signed a power-sharing deal on Saturday with the main opposition alliance, paving the way for a transitional government and eventual elections.

The agreement provides for the establishment of the Sovereignty Council as the country's highest authority but largely delegates executive powers to the cabinet.

Al-Bashir, a 70-year-old man, faces Al-Qadah, who was directly following him, and is driven to the black cage by his soldiers, "Salvation", and his closest men.

As Sudan celebrates the agreement between the military and the rebel opposition, Bashir begins another phase of his life, which was distributed between the army barracks and the presidential chair to the accusation chair.
