NewzA 76-year-old deposit made by former 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, the mother of two of Trujillo's children.
The legal battle was initiated by two of Trujillo's children, who sought to recover the assets on behalf of their mother. The court ruling concludes the litigation, ultimately denying the heirs' claims and confirming the state's retention of the historical deposit.
