Sudan's ex president faces charges.
Police investigator Ahmed Ali Mohamed told the court that Mr Bashir admitted to receiving $25m (£21m) from Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Mr Bashir faces charges related to "possessing foreign currency, corruption and receiving gifts illegally".
In April, Sudan's military ruler General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said more than $113m (£93m) worth of cash in Sudanese pounds and foreign currency had been seized from Mr Bashir's home.
The dislodged leader had been due in court in July - but the trial was postponed for security reasons. Mr Bashir's lawyer Ahmed Ibrahim said "there is no information or evidence with regards to the accusations of illicit gains aimed at Bashir".
