In New York, Reuters reports a recent federal court filing has confirmed right-wing Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández is being investigated by U.S. authorities for his possible involvement in drug trafficking. Federal prosecutors accuse Hernández of using law enforcement and the military to protect drug traffickers. Hernández reportedly accepted millions of dollars in exchange, promising traffickers they wouldn’t be prosecuted or extradited to the U.S. Hernández has remained a key U.S. ally despite long-standing accusations of corruption, human rights abuses and involvement with drug cartels.
