On 18 December 2010, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court filed charges against Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir for siphoning as much as $9 billion from Sudan's treasury. The alleged crime came to light yesterday, when Wikileaks published a 2009 diplomatic cable that quoted ICC chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo as suggesting that Bashir had stolen billions and hidden the money abroad. Bashir, whom teh ICC has also charged with war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide for his role in the systemic violence plaguing Darfur, denies the charges.
