A Dhaka court has deferred until October 19 the submission of the investigation report in the Bangladesh Bank (BB) reserve theft case.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Joshita Islam set the new date on Monday as the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) failed to submit the report. This marks the 98th extension sought by the investigation agency.
On February 5, 2016, hackers stole $81 million from Bangladesh Bank’s account with the US Federal Reserve through fraudulent SWIFT transactions. The money was subsequently transferred to the Philippines.
A case was filed with Motijheel Police Station on March 15, 2016, under the Money Laundering Prevention Act, 2012 and relevant provisions of the Information and Communication Technology Act and Penal Code against unidentified persons.
The case is currently being investigated by the CID.
