The lawsuit was originally filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico against Doral Financial Corporation over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws in connection with certain allegedly false and misleading statements made between April 2, 2012 and May 1, 2014. According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of Doral Financial Corporation (NYSE: DRL) between April 2, 2012 and May 1, 2014, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between April 2, 2012 and May 1, 2014, defendants issued allegedly materially false and misleading statements regarding Doral Financial Corporation's financial performance and future prospects and failed to disclose adverse facts, including that Doral Financial Corporation had a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls, and that such controls were ineffective, that Doral Financial Corporation had under-reserved for loan losses, that as a result of having under-reserved for loan losses, the Company's assets were overstated, its expenses were understated, its net income was overstated, and Doral Bank did not meet its Tier I regulatory capital requirements as stated between April 2, 2012 and May 1, 2014 and as required by bank regulators to operate the bank and that as a result of the foregoing, defendants knew Doral Bank was undercapitalized and Doral Financial Corporation was not on track to achieve the financial results they had led the market to expect during April 2, 2012 and May 1, 2014.
