KHARTOUM, Dec 18 (Saba) -- The Sudanese government refuted Saturday evening the new revelations by WikiLeaks that President Omar Al-Bashir had USD multi-billion assets at a British bank, according to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).

"The unfounded claims are based on charges fabricated by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Luis Moreno-Ocampo with a view to mar the picture of President Bashir," the government said in a statement here.
"The fabricated charges show that Ocampo failed in the mission assigned to him by the US diplomacy and tended to frame President Bashir; they also evidence to the credibility of the our assumption that the ICC and its prosecutor are politically-motivated," statement noted.

The government took pride in the trust placed by the Sudanese people in their leader and the solidarity shown by sisterly countries with Sudan in its fair stand, renewing resolve not to cooperate with the ICC.

It urged the free people worldwide to speak up for Sudan's righteous indignation about West-led campaign against the country.

It also called on the United Nations Security Council to prevent using the UN resolutions in a manipulative way to harm the interests of other UN member states whose only guilt is that they oppose hegemony and the Neocolonialism.
The statement did not rule out the possibility of WikiLeaks releases relating to the statndoff between Sudan and the ICC in the coming weeks.

Earlier today, WikiLeaks released a classified US diplomatic document saying that Al-Bashir had fraudulently seized up to USD nine billion of the country's oil revenues and deposited them at his own accounts in the British Lloyds Bank.

Lloyds Bank has also denied the claim, affirming that the Sudanese leader has no accounts in it.
