Probe report in BB reserve heist case on July 2

A Dhaka court on Sunday set July 2 to submit a probe report in the case lodged over Bangladesh Bank (BB) reserve heist that took place in 2016.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropo­litan Magistrate 

Wahi­duzzaman set the date as the investigation agency Criminal Investigation Depart­ment (CID) failed to submit the report today.

Hackers stole $101m from BB's accounts with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in February 2016. 

Of the amount, $81 million was transferred to four accounts with RCBC in Philippines and another $20 million to a bank in Sri Lanka.

But the transfer of $20 million to Sri Lanka failed because of a spelling error by the hackers. Later, the BB was able to retrieve about $15 million from the Philippines.

Then Deputy Director (accounts and budgeting) of Bangladesh Bank Zobayer Bin Huda filed the case with Motijheel Police Station on March 15, 2016.
