The Bangladeshi government is mulling on filing a civil suit against Solaire Resort & Casino, which is operated by Bloomberry Resorts, after their appeal to return some of the money stolen from their central bank has fallen on deaf ears.

Quoting an unnamed Finance Division official, Dhaka Tribune reported that Bangladesh’s Bank and Financial Institutions Division is likely to lodge a civil forfeiture case against Solaire and remittance firm Philrem Money Remitance Limited to retrieve the US$81 million that the hackers illegally wired to the Philippines.

The plan, according to the news sources, had informally been communicated to the Anti-Money Laundering Council. The source added that the State Minister for Finance and Planning MA Mannan is already discussing the matter in Parliament.

“We are going to file a lawsuit against Philren Money Remittance Limited and Philippine casino as per the directive given by the government high-up,” a Finance Division official told the news agency.
