Usage of "has been" in a sentence

Anyone please consider this sentence I found here on the web: "The grizzly bear that was captured near Simms on Wednesday night has been relocated to the west side of the Continental Divide". Question: 1.) how was "has been" been used in this sentence? 2.) Is it still considered a present perfect progressive tense or another form? 3.) Is  "has been" followed verb+ed a correct combination?                                                                              All I know is that "has been" followed by verb+ing is a present perfect progressive tense that describes an action that began in the past, continues in the present, and may continue into the future.  Anyone please explain...Thanks!!!

All I know is that "has been" followed by verb+ing is a present perfect progressive tense that describes an action that began in the past, continues in the present, and may continue into the future. There is no verb + -ing in the sentence you posted. If you remove the relative clause, this is the sentence.
