Former Honduran President Convicted of Aiding Traffickers Moving Drugs into US
Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was found guilty in New York on Friday of conspiring with drug traffickers and utilizing his military and national police force to transport cocaine into the United States.Hernández, aged 55, a two-term President, was apprehended at his residence in the Honduran capital in 2022 shortly after his tenure ended, before later being extradited to the U.S.
The New York Post reports:
U.S. prosecutors accused Hernández of working with drug traffickers as long ago as 2004, saying he took millions of dollars in bribes as he rose from rural congressman to president of the National Congress and then to the country’s highest office.
Hernández acknowledged in trial testimony that drug money was paid to virtually all political parties in Honduras, but he denied accepting bribes himself.
