NewzA 76-year-old bank deposit made by former Dominican dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo at the Banco de Reservas has been awarded to the Dominican State following a lengthy legal dispute. The funds were originally intended for Lina Altagracia Lovatón Pittaluga, a mistress of Trujillo.
The case involved a protracted judicial battle initiated by two of Trujillo's children, who sought to reclaim the assets on behalf of their mother. The court's final ruling concludes the litigation in favor of the state, effectively ending the heirs' efforts to recover the historical deposit.
