At least 40 people from six nations were involved in what is being described as the world’s biggest cyber heist that siphoned off around $81 million from the account of Bangladesh Bank in 2016. Bangladeshi officials found nationals from Philipines, China, Sri Lanka, Japan, India, and Bangladesh itself in the crime.

According to a report in The Daily Star, the five-year-long investigation in the incident is nearing completion. Officials from Bangladesh is waiting for the disposal of a case in a New York court, that they have filed for the recovery of the stolen money, before pressing charges against the accused.

Maximum, 25, people are from Philipines. All nations, except China, have responded and cooperated with Bangladeshi authorities whose nationals are suspected to be involved in the crime.

So far, Bangladesh investigating agencies have discovered the involvement of forty individuals but numbers could go high, a CID official from Bangladesh was quoted as saying by The Daily Mirror.

Officials revealed the involvement of Indian nationals working at SWIFT, a secure financial tech platform that oversees international transactions. Some officials of the Bangladesh Bank were also involved, he added.

Furthermore, to recover the money stolen from the Bank’s reserves with the New York Fed, Bangladesh has engaged a law firm in the US to pursue the case in a court there. They are now hoping for the early disposal of the case.
