BB heist case: Court asks CID to submit report on May 3

Staff Correspondent: A Dhaka court has fixed May 3 for submitting probe report in a case filed under Money Laundering and Information Technology Act over the incident of reserve heist of Bangladesh Bank (BB).

Metropolitan Magistrate AKM Moinuddin Siddique fixed the date as the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) failed to submit report on Sunday.

On March 16, 2016, the court ordered CID to submit a report after investigating into the matter. Since, the court deferred submission date for several times as the law agency failed submit it.

Unidentified hackers stole $81 million from BB's account at the New York Fed in February 2016, using fraudulent orders on the SWIFT payments system.

Later, Zubair Bin Huda, joint director of BB's accounts and budgeting department, filed the case with Motijheel Police Station on March 15, 2016.
