Bangladesh’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has prepared a 150-page draft charge sheet in the country’s largest financial scandal, the Bangladesh Bank reserve theft case. After more than a decade of investigation, the draft has been submitted to the Attorney General’s Office for legal review. The document accuses 64 individuals and organizations, including former Bangladesh Bank governor Dr. Atiur Rahman, who is alleged to have attempted to conceal the incident and is currently absconding.
The accused include nine other Bangladeshi officials and citizens, as well as foreign nationals from India, North Korea, China, Japan, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines. Among them are former deputy governor Abul Kashem, former executive directors Shuvankar Saha and Mezbaul Haque, and several international hackers and institutions such as North Korea’s Lazarus Group. The CID found that the stolen funds were laundered through casinos and foreign entities.
The 2016 cyber theft involved $101 million stolen via fraudulent SWIFT messages from Bangladesh Bank’s account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Only $34.6 million has been recovered so far. Authorities expect the final charge sheet to be filed in court once legal clearance is received.
