 Sudan’s former President Omar Al Bashir appeared in public for the first time since his ouster two months ago, as he was led to a prosecutor’s office Sunday in a corruption investigation.

 A judicial official with the prosecutor’s office said al-Bashir was questioned over accusations that include money laundering and the possession of large amounts of foreign currency.

 He said the probe partly related to millions of dollars’ worth of cash in US dollars, euros and Sudanese pounds that were found in al-Bashir’s home a week after his ouster.
