Sudan’s Public Prosecution has completed investigations into several financial corruption cases and premeditated murder committed during the rule of ousted President Omar al-Bashir. Some lawsuits involve Bashir’s second wife, Widad Babiker, and other leaders who served his regime.
Sudan’s attorney general, Mubarak Mahmoud, has received from the Unlawful and Suspicious Enrichment prosecution the results of investigations led into four cases against prominent figures in the former regime, announced the Public Prosecution in a statement on Wednesday.
Other than Babiker, the cases involve the former governor of Khartoum, the former minister of urban planning, and the ex-official charged with the commission for distributing state revenues.
For Babiker, she faces charges of transgressing and unlawfully owning residential lands and real estate. Babiker has been under house arrest since her release from custody due to health reasons.
In other news, the attorney general visited the new Khartoum prosecution headquarters for empowerment removal and fund recovery and the prosecution headquarters of information crimes and digital investigations.
Mubarak Mahmoud, while inspecting the facilities, reviewed obstacles faced by authorities.
The head of the empowerment removal and funds recovery prosecution, Al-Amthal Abdelfattah, explained that the visit confirms the attorney general’s interest in the progress of work in all prosecutions.
Abdelfattah confirmed that his department, despite being new, is conducting investigations into a large number of lawsuits and that it has recently referred four cases involving suspects who are accused of activities and actions that undermine the constitution.
