A Dhaka court has once again postponed the submission of the investigation report in the Bangladesh Bank reserve theft case. On Thursday, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Joshita Islam set August 9 as the new date for the report’s submission. This marks the 96th time the deadline has been extended. The prosecution’s Sub-Inspector Rokunuzzaman confirmed the court’s order after the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) failed to present the report on the scheduled date.
The case stems from the February 5, 2016 incident when hackers fraudulently transferred 81 million US dollars from Bangladesh Bank’s account at the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States using the SWIFT system. The stolen funds were later sent to the Philippines. Investigators suspect that a local group assisted the hackers in laundering the money.
Following the theft, on March 15, 2016, Zobayer Bin Huda, Deputy Director of the Accounts and Budgeting Department of Bangladesh Bank, filed a case under the Money Laundering Prevention Act and the Information and Communication Technology Act. The CID is currently conducting the investigation.
