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

A 76-year-old financial deposit made by former Dominican dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo in the Banco de Reservas (Banreservas) has officially been resolved in favor of the Dominican State. The decision concludes a protracted legal battle initiated by two of Trujillo's children, who sought to recover the funds originally intended for their mother, Lina Altagracia Lovatón Pittaluga.

The funds had been tied up in the courts for decades as part of the legal fallout concerning assets linked to the Trujillo family regime. The resolution of this case marks the final disposition of the historical deposit, securing the assets for the state rather than the descendants of the dictator.
