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 court battle initiated by two of Trujillo's children, who sought to recover the assets. The final judicial decision concludes the litigation, effectively preventing the heirs from reclaiming the historical deposit for the family.
