He was speaking at a press conference at CID headquarter in Dhaka.

Cyber criminals stole US$ 101 million from Bangladesh Bank’s account with New York’s Federal Reserve Bank in February. The incident came to light several days later.

Shah Alam said a 16-member team of the CID returned after their visit to Philippines and Sri Lanka to collect information on the heist, adding that details on the outcome of the visit will be disclosed later on.

CID said they do not want to disclose information whether any Bangladeshis are involved in the reserve heist incident for the “sake of investigation”.

On the negligence of central bank officials, the CID official said investigators are now trying to find out whether it was out of criminal intent or because of their incompetence.
