Reserve Heist: Court defers probe report submission to July 2
Staff Correspondent
A Dhaka court on Sunday once again deferred the date for the submission of the investigation report in the case filed over the Bangladesh Bank (BB) reserve heist to July 2.
Dhaka’s Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Wahiduzzaman fixed the new date as the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the agency probing the case, failed to submit the report.
The report was scheduled to be submitted on Sunday.
International robbers stole $101 million from the Bangladesh Bank account with the Federal Reserve Bank through fraudulent instructions against their target of about $1 billion in February 2016.
Bangladesh has so far recovered around $18 million of the $81 million transferred to the Philippines. It was later suspected that Dridex malware was used for the attack.
On March 15, 2016, Deputy Director of Accounts and Budgeting Department of Bangladesh Bank Zubair Bin Huda lodged a case against unidentified people under the Money Laundering Prevention Act at Motijheel police station.
