NewzA 76-year-old deposit made by former Dominican dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo at the Banco de Reservas has been awarded to the 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 ruling concludes a prolonged judicial battle initiated by the two heirs, who sought to recover the assets. The court's decision effectively prevents the descendants from reclaiming the historical deposit, placing the capital under state control.
