Cyber crime expert missing in Bangladesh

A cyber crime expert has disappeared after talking to police and the media about an attempted $951 million (€843m) cyber heist from Bangladesh’s central bank, his wife said.

Kamrun Nahar Chowdhury said her husband Tanveer Hassan Zoha had been taken from a motorised rickshaw in the early hours of Thursday by people in plainclothes who blindfolded him and drove off with him

The heist at Bangladesh Bank led to the resignation of bank governor Atiur Rahman on Tuesday after details emerged of $81 million (€72m) of the bank’s money reaching casino operators in the Philippines.
