A court in Dhaka has deferred for the 67th time the submission of the probe report in a case filed over the $101 million heist from the Bangladesh Bank's reserve.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury asked the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to submit the report on January 1 after the investigating officer failed to submit it in court on Wednesday.
Hackers stole $101 million from the 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 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 the case at Motijheel police station under the Money Laundering Prevention Act against unidentified people.
