Bashir who was overthrown early this year after an alleged 30 years sovereignty, was convicted on Saturday in a court of law at Khartoum after been charged with graft, bribery, corruption and illegal acquisition of foreign money.

The former head of state who was accused of holding cash amounted to Sh13 billion at his palatial home allegations which he refuted.

However, he confirmed acquiring Sh25billion from Saudi Crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.

"The court convicted Omar Hassan al-Bashir and has decided to send him to a community reform centre for two years," Judge Al-Sadiq Abdelrahim said.

Bashir who is 75 years old will be serving only a 2-year sentence in Kobar prison, where he sent many of his political opponents after the judge said that "under the law, those who have attained an age of 70 shouldn't be subjected into jail terms."

Among other cases that may sprout against Bashir are an attempted coup of 1989 and the killing of liberators during the protest which occurred following his impeachment earlier this year.

Before the sentence was passed, his supporters had attempted to disrupt the proceedings, efforts that were thwarted by the police.
