Court Correspondent :
The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka yesterday (Sunday) again ordered the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Police to submit the investigation report in the case filed over the Bangladesh Bank reserve heist on July 12.
Magistrate AKM Moin Uddin Siddique yesterday fixed the new date as CID failed to submit the report on the scheduled date.
Earlier on March 16, 2016, the court ordered the CID to submit a report after the investigation in the case. But the CID sought time for the report submission on several scheduled occasions.
The case was filed on March 15, 2017 with Motijheel Police Station under the Prevention Act and Information and Communication Technology Act. BB Joint Director (accounts and budget) Jubayer Bin Huda filed the case against unidentified persons. The case was shifted to CID for investigation.
Earlier on February 5, 2016, unknown cyber criminals stole nearly $1 billion from the Bangladesh Bank, which is one of the biggest cyber-heists in history.
The thieves succeeded in transferring some $81 million through an account maintained with the New York Federal Reserve to four accounts in fake names with a branch of Rizal Commercial Banking Corp (RCBC) in Manila of Philippines. Most of the money was laundered through casinos in Manila and remains are yet to be detected.
