It has said it may sue RCBC if other efforts to recover the money are unsuccessful. "Bangladesh Bank knows enough about what happened from the internal and external reports so far obtained by it and others," the central bank's lawyer Hossain told Reuters late on Saturday. "This truth is being deliberately withheld from the public domain so as not to allow the foreign perpetrators of the hacking to have knowledge of the investigations. "That's why I think a report is not forthcoming," Maria Celia Estavillo, RCBC's legal and regulatory affairs head, told Reuters. She said internal investigations by the bank showed nobody from its head office was complicit.Bangladesh Bank said RCBC had "corporate knowledge" of the money laundering.
