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

A 76-year-old deposit made by former Dominican leader Rafael Leónidas Trujillo at the Banco de Reservas has been awarded to the Dominican State. The ruling concludes a long-standing legal dispute initiated by two of Trujillo's children, who sought to recover the funds originally intended for their mother, Lina Altagracia Lovatón Pittaluga.

The judicial battle centered on the ownership of these historical assets, which had remained in the bank for over seven decades. The final decision effectively prevents the heirs from reclaiming the money, solidifying the State's claim to the long-dormant deposit.
