Trujillo's deposit in Banreservas ends up in favor of the State

A 76-year-old deposit made by former Dominican dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo at the Banco de Reservas has been legally awarded to the Dominican State. The ruling concludes a long-standing judicial dispute initiated by two of Trujillo's children, who sought to recover the funds originally intended for their mother, Lina Altagracia Lovatón Pittaluga. The decision marks the end of a protracted legal effort by the heirs to claim the assets.
