NewzA 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 prolonged 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 disputed funds had been tied up in the courts for decades as part of legal efforts by the heirs to claim the historical assets. With the final ruling, the judiciary has decisively closed the case, securing the longstanding deposit for the state rather than the descendants of the Trujillo family.
