KHARTOUM — The “Dismantling of June 30 Regime Committee” announced that it had seized a number of bank accounts that are engaged in currency trading and money laundering.

The committee is responsible for liquidating the influence of the former regime in Sudan headed by Omar Al-Bashir.

Committee member Wajdi Saleh announced the confiscation of 90 “rusty” bank accounts with account movements exceeding 64 billion and 305 million Sudanese pounds within a short period.

The bank accounts belong to people, youth, housewives and business names, without clear economic activity, most of which were opened at the start of the revolution in late 2018.

Saleh said that the activities of these accounts are limited to currency trading in the parallel market, money laundering and currency smuggling outside the country. Some of the owners in Sudan were arrested, while procedures to book those outside the country are on.

Saleh denied that the goal of this operation was to expose people’s bank accounts, emphasizing that his committee only pursues suspicious accounts, according to the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Terrorism Law and in accordance with the committee’s constitutional reference.

Saleh promised to issue more than 200 decisions during the coming period, including the recovery of economic institutions and the detection of saboteurs and corrupt civil servants, especially since they have been hindering the process of democratic transition by disrupting the work of the state apparatus.
