Federal prosecutors of States United ensure that the president of Honduras , Juan Orlando Hernández , protected a Honduran drug trafficker in exchange for large bribes, even using the Army to facilitate his activities, delving into the allegations they already raised during the drug trafficking trial against his brother.
In a motion filed in a New York court, prosecutors detail the alleged relationship of Hernández with Geovanny Fuentes Ramírez , an alleged drug trafficker Honduras year who was arrested in Miami last March.

The writing of the Prosecutor’s Office is framed in the case against Fuentes Ramírez and it does not name explicitly to the president Honduran , to whom identifies as accomplice or co-conspirator number 4 (CC-4), but his identity is easily recognizable by the references to his position and his brother Juan Antonio ” Tony ” Hernández , who was found guilty of drug trafficking in States United.
According to prosecutors, Fuentes Ramírez had several encounters in 2013 and 2014 with Juan Orlando Hernández and paid him large amounts of money to protect his activities and agree to use the armed forces as protection for his activities of drug trafficking .
Hernández also encouraged the alleged drug trafficker to work with his brother and showed him interest in having access to his drug laboratory due to its proximity to Puerto Cortés, the document says.
During those meetings, Hernández assured – always according to the prosecutors’ account – that he wanted to make believe Washington that Honduras was fighting the drug trafficking , but that was actually going to eliminate the extradition to the country and “put drugs up the noses of the gringos”, in reference to an alleged will to “flood the United States with cocaine.”
In addition, they ensure that Hernández described in those encounters his participation in a generalized corruption within the Honduran government , which included the diversion of US aid and funds from the Social Security of the country.
This motion delves into the allegations already presented previously by US prosecutors, who among other things assured during the trial against his brother that they had evidence that the president received more than a million dollars from the narco Mexican Joaquín he “ Chapo ” Guzmán .
Hernández , who won the elections in 2013 and was re-elected president in 2019 , has always denied the various accusations, ensuring that the allegations originating from confessed drug traffickers, on which the bulk of the information collected by the authorities is based Americans , are not credible.
