Court Correspondent :
The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka yesterday deferred the date for submission of the investigation report in the case filed in connection with the theft in the Bangladesh Bank’s reserve. The fresh date is April 1.
Magistrate AKM Moinuddin Siddique of the CMM Court passed the order on Wednesday. The scheduled date to submit probe report was February 28. The court fixed the new date, as the CID, agency assigned for the probe, failed to submit the probe report before deadline.
The investigation body missed deadlines several times after it was ordered on March 16, 2017 to submit report. On February 5, 2017, $ 81 million (£75m) was stolen from Bangladesh Bank’s account maintained with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in one of the largest cyber-heists in history. Later, on March 15, last year, Jubair Bin Huda, a Joint Director of Accounts and Budgeting Department of Bangladesh Bank filed the case with Motijheel Police Station of the city. However, none was accused by name in the case.
