The other accused include Philrem Service Corporation, casino owners and beneficiaries, Bangladesh Bank officials said. The Bangladesh Bank lost $81 million to the heist in February 2016. Now Bangladesh Bank officials believe the US suit will exert pressure on the bank to return the funds. But I have come to know that many of the other side are interested to sit,” lawyer Hossain said. The Bangladesh team will sit on Mar 10 to discuss their strategy before leaving for the Philippines, the lawyer said.
