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

A long-standing legal dispute regarding a financial deposit made 76 years ago by former Dominican leader Rafael Leónidas Trujillo has concluded in favor of the State. The funds, held at the Banco de Reservas, were the subject of a judicial battle initiated by two of Trujillo's children. The claimants sought to recover the money, asserting that the deposit was originally intended for their mother, Lina Altagracia Lovatón Pittaluga.

The court's ruling confirms that the assets will remain with the State, effectively ending the efforts by the heirs to claim the historical deposit. The case highlights the ongoing legal complexities surrounding the assets associated with the Trujillo era.
