A Dhaka court has set December 8 as the new deadline for submitting the probe report in the case over the 2016 Bangladesh Bank reserve heist, after the Criminal Investigation Department failed to file it on Tuesday.
According to case documents, unidentified hackers stole $101 million from BB’s accounts with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on February 5, 2016, transferring $81 million to four accounts at RCBC in the Philippines and attempting to send another $20 million to Sri Lanka, which was halted due to a spelling error.
Bangladesh later recovered about $15 million from the Philippines. Then Bangladesh Bank Deputy Director (accounts and budgeting) Zobayer Bin Huda filed the case with Motijheel police on March 15, 2016.
