Khartoum - A corruption trial of Sudan's ousted president Omar
al-Bashir was scheduled to start on Monday in the capital Khartoum.
Al-Bashir will be questioned at the Judicial Training Institute in
Khartoum, his defence team said.
After being overthrown during a military coup on April 11, the
75-year-old was found to be in possession of large sums of local and
foreign currency as well as other assets without legal justification.
Al-Bashir, who was in power for 30 years, was deposed as the military
took power after months of nationwide anti-government protests.
The start of al-Bashir's trial comes a day after the transitional
military council and opposition groups signed a long-awaited,
three-year power-sharing agreement meant to lead to elections and a
civilian government.
The International Criminal Court meanwhile says al-Bashir should have
been extradited while he was president of Sudan.
The tribunal had issued a warrant against al-Bashir in 2009 for
crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide against civilians
and ethnic groups in Sudan's Darfur region.
