Staff Correspondent
A Dhaka court on Wednesday deferred the date for submitting the investigation report in the case filed over the Bangladesh Bank reserve heist to July 24.
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jakir Hossain fixed the new date as the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), which is investigating the case, failed to submit the report today.
International robbers stole $101 million from the Bangladesh Bank account with the Federal Reserve Bank through fraudulent instructions against their target of about $1 billion in February 2016.
Bangladesh has so far recovered around $18 million of the $81 million transferred to the Philippines. It was later suspected that Dridex malware was used for the attack.
On March 15, 2016, Deputy Director of Accounts and Budgeting Department of Bangladesh Bank Zubair Bin Huda lodged a case against unidentified people under the Money Laundering Prevention Act at Motijheel police station.
