Motion

On February 26, 2025, BDT Investments Inc. submitted an urgent motion before the Twelfth Civil Court requesting that the court issue a direct order to GTC Bank Inc. to release $19,184,680.00. According to the filing, these funds remain retained despite the lifting of the attachment under Order No. 200 of April 12, 2022, which approved the settlement and transferred Lisa, S.A.’s rights to BDT. BDT argues that the prior Official Notice No. 28 of January 3, 2025—sent to Villamorey, S.A.—was insufficient to secure the release of the funds, as the bank has still not complied.

The motion requests immediate judicial intervention because the continued withholding of funds has harmed BDT’s ability to conduct its business normally. BDT asserts that both Lisa, S.A. and BDT have been deprived of the legitimate use of these sums for many years, even after the attachment was formally lifted and the order became final. For this reason, BDT asks the court to instruct the bank directly to deliver the retained funds without further delay.
