A court in Dhaka has deferred for the 68th time the submission of the probe report in a case filed over the $101 million heist from Bangladesh Bank reserves.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury asked the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to submit the report on February 14 after the investigating officer failed to submit it in court on Sunday.
On March 22, 2016, Metropolitan Magistrate Md Mahbubur Rahman allowed the CID to conduct forensic tests on the hard drives of three Bangladesh Bank computers.
The three hard disks were seized from Bangladesh Bank after the heist occurred.
Hackers stole $101 million from Bangladesh Bank's account with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in February 2016.
Of the stolen amount, $81 million was transferred to four accounts with Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) in Manila and another $20 million to a bank in Sri Lanka.
But the transfer of $20 million to Sri Lanka failed due to a spelling error by the hackers.
Later, the central bank of Bangladesh was able to retrieve only about $15 million from the Philippines.
On March 15 of that year, Bangladesh Bank Joint Director M Jubayer Bin Huda lodged a case at Motijheel police station under the Money Laundering Prevention Act against unidentified people.
