More than £100m in cash found at ousted Sudanese leader's home

Suitcases packed with more than £100m have been found by security services at the home of Sudan's ousted president, it has been reported.
Omar al-Bashir is now being investigated over alleged money laundering after the hoard of cash – in US dollars, euros and Sundanese pounds – was discovered while he was under house arrest.

He has since been transferred to capital Khartoum's notorious Kobar high-security prison, Reuters reports.
The revelation came as the new ruling military junta – led by army lieutenant general Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan – announced on Saturday that several senior members of Mr al-Bashir’s former ruling party had been arrested.

Among them were acting party head Ahmed Haroun, former first vice president Ali Osman Taha and former parliament speaker Ahmed Ibrahim al-Taher.
A committee to oversee investigations into government corruption and misuse of public money has also been set up, the new authority said.
