The saga between Doral Financial Corp. and the Puerto Rico Treasury Department that began earlier this summer took another turn recently, when a local court ordered the parties to sit down and negotiate an agreement that would grant the bank a $229 million tax refund.
Doral Financial Corp. announced Monday it had entered into an agreement to sell some $824.4 million in non-performing loans to Abbey Finance Holdings PR, LLC, for a discounted amount of $369 million.
Doral Financial Corporation filed papers Wednesday appealing a decision by the Superior Court and asking the Puerto Rico Supreme Court to assume jurisdiction of the appeal.
