The submission of the probe report over the 2016 cyber heist of the Bangladesh Bank has been deferred yet again.A Dhaka court has set Jul 2 for the submission as the investigating officer failed to file it on Tuesday (May 21).
On Feb 5 in 2016, unknown cybercriminals tried to steal nearly $1 billion from the Bangladesh Bank using SWIFT code, one of the biggest bank frauds ever.
They succeeded in transferring some $81 million via an account at the New York Federal Reserve to four accounts in fake names at a branch of Rizal Commercial Banking Corp (RCBC) in Manila of Philippines.
Following the incident, a case was filed on Mar 15, 2016 with Motijheel Police under the Money Laundering Prevention Act and Information and Communication Technology Act.
