A court here on Monday set 19 October for submitting the probe report in the case lodged over the 2016 reserve heist of Bangladesh Bank (BB).
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jashita Islam fixed the new date as the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the investigating agency, failed to submit the report today.
According to the case documents, unidentified hackers stole $101 million from BB's account with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on 5 February, 2016.
Of the amount, $81 million was transferred to four accounts at Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation in the Philippines, while another $20 million was sent to a bank in Sri Lanka.
However, the transfer of $20 million to Sri Lanka failed due to a spelling error made by the hackers. Later, Bangladesh Bank managed to recover about $15 million from the Philippines.
Former Deputy Director (Accounts and Budgeting) of Bangladesh Bank Zobayer Bin Huda filed the case with Motijheel Police Station on 15 March, 2016.
