On 5 February 2016, hackers reportedly stole $101 million from Bangladesh Bank's accounts with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Of the amount, $81 million was sent to four accounts at RCBC in Manila, while $20 million was transferred to a bank in Sri Lanka.
Officials believe a hacker group laundered the reserve money with the help of a vested group within the country.
In this connection, M Jubayer Bin Huda, deputy director of the Accounts and Budgeting Department of Bangladesh Bank, filed a case at Motijheel police station on 15 March 2016 under the Money Laundering Prevention Act against unidentified individuals.
CID was assigned to investigate the case.
