Bangladesh CID, Jasim Uddin Khan, seizes $81m from RCBC

Authorities confiscated eighty-one million dollars from Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation after an eight-year investigation into the Bangladesh Bank cyber heist. Police Superintendent Jasim Uddin Khan announced the successful seizure through official channels on Sunday morning. Courts authorized the recovery action against funds that cybercriminals had transferred from Bangladesh Bank's Federal Reserve account in New York during February 2016. The thieves initially accessed one hundred and one million dollars from the central bank's reserves before moving the money through different countries. Investigators previously retrieved twenty million dollars from Sri Lankan institutions, while the remaining sum passed through Philippine gambling establishments before this final confiscation.
