The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka yesterday ordered Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Bangladesh Police to submit the investigation report of a case filed over Bangladesh Bank reserve heist on October 2.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Aminul Haque fixed the new date on Wednesday after CID failed to submit the report on the day.
The case was filed with Motijheel Police Station under the Money laundering Prevention Act and Information and Communication Technology Act on March 15, 2016.
Bangladesh Bank’s Joint Director (Accounts and Budget) Jubayer Bin Huda filed the case. The case was shifted to CID the following day for investigation.
Earlier, on February 5, unknown cyber criminals tried to steal nearly $1 billion from the Bangladesh Bank, one of the biggest bank frauds ever.
They succeeded in transferring some $81 million through an account maintained with the New York Federal Reserve to four accounts in fake names in a branch of Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) in Manila of Philippines. Most of the money was laundered through casinos in Manila and remains missing.
