Former President Hernández has an international warrant issued by Honduran authorities
Honduras has issued an international arrest warrant for former President Hernández due to money laundering, subsequent to his recent pardon in the US.
On Monday night, the Honduran Attorney General declared that an international arrest warrant has been issued for former President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was recently pardoned by US President Donald Trump and subsequently released from federal prison in the United States.
In a social media post, Attorney General Johel Antonio Zelaya Alvarez announced that he had directed government agencies and Interpol to execute the warrant. Hernández is facing allegations of money laundering and fraud related to his initial presidential campaign over ten years ago.
The development signifies a significant shift in the legal proceedings involving Hernández, who has previously been under examination in both Honduras and the United States regarding alleged corruption and connections to criminal networks.
Authorities have not yet disclosed specifics regarding the timing or location of Hernández’s potential apprehension. However, the international warrant underscores Honduras’ commitment to pursuing legal action, irrespective of his recent pardon and release in the US.
