KHARTOUM, Sudan — The ousted president of Sudan, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, will soon appear in court to face charges of corruption and possessing foreign currency, the country’s acting prosecutor general said Saturday.

Corruption cases have also been opened against 41 other former officials, the prosecutor, Alwaleed Sayed Ahmed, said at a news conference in Khartoum. He said Mr. al-Bashir would be referred for trial at the hearing after a one-week period for objections expires.

A court appearance by Mr. al-Bashir might ease continued speculation about his fate among many Sudanese. He has not been seen in public since he was toppled by his own generals on April 11, following months of tumultuous protests led by young Sudanese frustrated with his 30-year rule.

Generals said Mr. al-Bashir was initially put under house arrest at his residence in the military headquarters and was later transferred to the notorious Kober prison, on the north bank of the Nile, where for years he detained his own enemies.
