DHAKA, July 2, 2025 (BSS) - A Dhaka court today set July 24 to submit a probe report in the case lodged over Bangladesh Bank (BB) reserve heist that took place in 2016.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Zakir Hossain set the new date as the investigation agency Criminal Investigation Department (CID) failed to submit the report today.

According to the case documents, unidentified Hackers stole $101m 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.

However, 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.
