Doral Financial Corporation, the financial services holding company of Doral Bank, with operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. mainland, announced Tuesday the sale of some $430 million in assets to Barclays Inc.
Doral Financial Corp. and Puerto Rico government officials were back in the public eye Tuesday, when both parties took to the media to defend their reasons for a collapse in court-ordered negotiations regarding a $229 million tax refund the former is claiming, and the latter rescinded.
Despite word that court-ordered talks between the government and Doral Financial Corp. had broken down late Friday, representatives from both parties confirmed negotiations are still on the fate of a $229 million tax refund the bank is claiming from the government.
