Requests order for GTC Bank to disclose $19M account data

Overview

On May 28, 2025, BDT Investments Inc. filed a motion before the Twelfth Civil Court requesting an international letter rogatory to Guatemalan judicial authorities. The purpose is to compel GTC Bank in Guatemala to disclose detailed financial information on accounts held or previously held by Villamorey, S.A., specifically including the $19,000,000.00 deposit historically linked to Lisa, S.A. and transferred to BDT by virtue of the approved settlement. The motion seeks precise account statements, opening dates, financial terms, and confirmation of any withdrawals, transfers, or immobilizations, along with certified copies of all records and consolidated transaction histories.

The request is grounded in Article 2(b) of the Inter-American Convention on Letters Rogatory, which authorizes cross-border evidence gathering. BDT emphasizes that the Twelfth Civil Court already lifted the 2012 attachment through Order No. 898 (April 12, 2022), and notified Villamorey accordingly, meaning no legal restriction prevents disclosure. BDT therefore asks the court to admit the motion and issue the international order so that GTC Bank provides the documentation necessary to clarify the status and movements of the $19 million.
