Update : 18 May 2025, 11:44 AM

Dhaka’s Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Wahiduzzaman set July 2 for the probe report in the BB reserve heist case, as the CID failed to submit it on Sunday.

Hackers stole $101 million from BB's accounts with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in February 2016.

Of the amount, $81 million was transferred to four accounts with RCBC in Philippines and another $20 million to a bank in Sri Lanka.

But the transfer of $20 million to Sri Lanka failed because of a spelling error by the hackers.

Later, the BB was able to retrieve about $15 million from the Philippines.

Then Deputy Director (accounts and budgeting) of Bangladesh Bank Zobayer Bin Huda filed the case with Motijheel police station on March 15, 2016.
