HONDURAS: New allegations push Hernández back on defensive
President Juan Orlando Hernández is once again on the defensive after being implicated in drug-related allegations which emerged in charges announced by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) against Juan Carlos ‘El Tigre’ Bonilla, a former national police (PN) chief (2012-2013). As on previous occasions, such as the case involving his brother Juan Antonio ‘Tony’ Hernández, convicted in October 2019 by a US jury on counts including conspiring to import cocaine into the US [WR-19-45], Hernández has issued a firm rebuttal of the claims.
