A Dhaka court today set April 17 for the submission of a probe report in the case regarding the 2016 Bangladesh Bank (BB) reserve heist. 

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

In February 2016, hackers stole $101 million from BB’s accounts with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. 

Of the stolen funds, $81 million was transferred to accounts in the Philippines, while $20 million was sent to Sri Lanka but failed due to a spelling error. 

BB later recovered about $15 million from the Philippines. The case was filed by BB's then Deputy Director Zobayer Bin Huda on March 15, 2016.
