The deadline for submitting the probe report in the Bangladesh Bank reserve heist case has been deferred for the 94th time today (9 April).
The report was scheduled to be submitted on 9 April. However, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) failed to file it
The court of Dhaka’s Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Josita Islam then set 18 May as the new date, confirmed Ruknuzzaman, sub-inspector of the DMP prosecution division.
In the 2016 heist, hackers stole $81 million from Bangladesh Bank’s account at the US Federal Reserve Bank on 5 February. It is believed that a local racket helped launder the money.
On 15 March 2016, Zobayer Bin Huda, then deputy director of the central bank, filed a complaint with Motijheel Police Station against unidentified individuals under the Money Laundering Prevention Act.
The court handed over the case to CID for investigation the next day, on 16 March. CID has been probing the matter since then.
