The embattled Senate President transferred a total of $3.47 million in 40 installments in four years with his credit card to the United States, a document obtained by Premium Times revealed.

He carried out the transactions through Guaranty Trust Bank between 2009, when he served as Kwara State governor, and 2012 when he served as the senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial District.

Prosecutors say the beneficiary accounts in the U.S. were also owned by Mr. Saraki.

Some of the senator’s companies, during the same period, also transferred thousands of dollars to the U.S. accounts. The companies are Carlisle Properties and West Gate Ltd.

Mr. Saraki is currently facing a 13-count charge bordering on corruption and false asset declaration at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. He allegedly committed the offence when he served as governor between 2003 and 2011.

The politician has denied any wrongdoing and alleged political persecution.

Of the 13-count charges filed against the senate president, two are related to the transfer of the $3.47 million.
