Additionally, Michael Snow, the district judge, imposed other terms on the bail condition, including a curfew between 11 pm to 6 am, an electronic tag to be worn by her at all times and a £70,000 surety to be paid before she could be allowed to leave the court house.
Alison-Madueke did not formally enter a plea but Reuters reported that Mark Bowen, her counsel, told the court that she would plead not guilty.
She will next appear at Southwark Crown Court, which is responsible for trying serious criminal cases, on October 30.
The former minister was in August, suspected by the UK National Crime Agency, NCA, to have accepted bribes before awarding multi-million-pound oil and gas contracts.
The NCA in a statement posted on its website, said Alison-Madueke “is alleged to have benefitted from at least £100,000 in cash, chauffeur-driven cars, flights on private jets, luxury holidays for her family, and the use of multiple London properties.
“Her charges also detail financial rewards, including furniture, renovation work and staff for the properties, payment of private school fees, and gifts from high-end designer shops such as Cartier jewellery and Louis Vuitton goods.”
