Deposed former president of Sudan,Omar al-Bashir, was sentenced to two years of incarceration at a state run reform center by a Sudanese court on Saturday.

The court convicted al-Bashir on corruption charges ranging from reaping illicit financial gains, illegal possession of foreign currency to financial irregularity.

These charges carried a maximum prison sentence of 10 years . However, al-Bashir will serve only two years. The judge said that under the law, al-Bashir should be sent to a reform facility instead of a prison because he is over 70 years old.

Al-Bashir ruled Sudan for 30 years before being removed in April by mass protests.

Omar al-Bashir has been replaced by a transitional government comprised of civilian and military leaders working to assure the Sudanese people that the change they demanded is real.

Authorities will also confiscate the foreign and national currency found in his home.                                                    Before the trial, law enforcement officials found more than $130 million in various currencies in his home.
