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 legal outcome concludes a prolonged judicial battle initiated by two of Trujillo's children, who sought to recover the funds.
The disputed monies were originally intended for Lina Altagracia Lovatón Pittaluga, who was the dictator's mistress. The ruling brings a definitive end to the decades-long legal efforts by the descendants to claim the historical assets.
