A large amount of money has been seized by police in Gabon, Africa, following the coup that ousted President Ali Bongo.
Images published on social networks show suitcases full of franc, dollar and euro banknotes, which are supposed to have been seized from President Bongo's apartment.
The latter won the elections with 64.2% of the votes, however a coup organized by the army that has already taken power, declared the elections as rigged and placed the president under "house arrest".
