Investigation report in BB reserve heists case to be submitted 5 June

Court Correspondent :
A Dhaka court yesterday directed the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to submit its probe report on June 5 in a case filed for a $101m heist from Bangladesh Bank.
The fixing of the new date deferred the probe report submission for the 71st time.
Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury of Dhaka CMM Court passed the order as the Investigation Officer of the case failed to submit the report in the court on Tuesday.
Hackers stole $101 million from the central bank account with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, using fake orders on the SWIFT payments system in February 2016.
Of the stolen amount, $81 million was transferred to four accounts with the Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) in Manila, and another $20 million to a bank of Sri Lanka.
However, the $20 million transfer to Sri Lanka failed due to a spelling error by the hackers and the Bangladesh Bank got back that amount from Sri Lanka.
Later, Bangladesh Bank could retrieve only about $15 million from the Philippines.
Bangladesh Bank Deputy Director (Accounts and Budgeting) Zobayer Bin Huda filed a case with Motijheel Police Station on March 15, 2016 in this connection under the Money Laundering Act, Information and Communication Technology Act and the Penal Code.
