Court Correspondent :
The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka yesterday (Thursday) deferred the submission of the probe report in Bangladesh Bank’s reserve heist case to October 12.
Magistrate Morshed Al Mamun Bhuiyan of the CMM Court fixed the new date, as CID’s Investigation Officer could not submit the report on Thursday.
On February 4, 2016, hackers stole $ 101 million
from Bangladesh Bank’s account maintained with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Of the amount, $ 81 million was transferred to four accounts with RCBC in Manila and another $ 20 million to a bank in Sri Lanka.
But the transfer of $ 20 million to Sri Lanka was not successful because of a spelling error by the hackers. Later, the central bank of the country was able to retrieve about $ 15 million from the Philippines.
On March 15, 2016, Deputy Director Zobayer Bin Huda of Accounts and Budgeting Department of Bangladesh Bank, lodged the case with Motijheel Police Station of the city. Later, on first February of this year, Bangladesh Bank filed another case against Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) of Philippines, with a court in the United States of America over the heist of $ 81 million from Bangladesh Bank (BB) reserve.
However, on March 6, RCBC of Philippines filed a defamation case against Bangladesh Bank for “vicious” public attacks in connection with an $ 81 million cyber heist.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is, however probing the case.
