Recently as everyone saw in the news, Omar al-Bashir, has been suspected of siphoning off $9 billion from Sudan’s oil boom and depositing much of it in British banks, according to a leaked US diplomatic cable “WikiLeaks”.
The claims came from Luis Moreno Ocampo, the chief prosecutor with the International Criminal Court who has accused Mr Bashir of genocide and war crimes in Darfur. He suggested that Lloyds Banking Group, which is partly government-owned, was either holding some of the funds or knew its whereabouts.
“Apparently” Lloyds Banking Group has said there is "no evidence" that Sudan's president stole $9 billion from his country and deposited it in London. “I’m not discussing if this is true or not” but I’m just wondering why this leaked story came out in this particular time with the referendum on the line, regardless if it is true or not?
