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

The Dominican state has secured a legal victory regarding a 76-year-old deposit made by former dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo at the Banco de Reservas. The funds, originally intended for Lina Altagracia Lovatón Pittaluga, became the subject of a protracted judicial dispute initiated by two of Trujillo's children who sought to recover the money.

The court's decision concludes the long-standing legal battle, effectively ruling that the assets remain with the state rather than the heirs of the Trujillo family. The case highlights the ongoing legal efforts to address financial legacies linked to the Trujillo era.
