Sudan's former leader Omar al Bashir kept the key to a presidential palace room holding millions of euros in cash, his corruption trial has heard.
His former office manager Yasser Basheer told the court that he was given more than 10 million euros' (£9m) cash to deliver to different parties in the ousted president's final months of rule.
Mr Basheer was appearing as a defence witness at the trial of al Bashir, who faces charges of possessing illicit foreign currency and corruption.
The witness told the court in the country's capital, Khartoum, that his former boss was the only person with a key to the room containing the cash.
Mr Basheer said he was told to give five million euros (£4.5m) to Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo, deputy head of Sudan's feared paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Abdelrahim's brother Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, head of the RSF, was present at the time, he added.
Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo is deputy head of the Transitional Military Council that has governed the north African nation since Bashir was ousted in a military coup in April.
