A Dhaka court has set November 25 for submitting the investigation report in the Bangladesh Bank reserve heist case, as the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) failed to submit it on Monday. This is the 99th time the investigation agency has sought more time.
On February 5, 2016, hackers stole $81 million from Bangladesh Bank’s account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York through the SWIFT payment system and transferred the money to the Philippines.
A case was filed with Motijheel Police Station on March 15, 2016, under the Money Laundering Prevention Act and the Information and Communication Technology Act. The CID is currently investigating the case.
