Accusations

During Tony Hernández’s trial in 2019, prosecutors charged to President Juan Orlando Hernández of having accepted bribes from drug traffickers to finance his electoral campaign for the presidency. The most explosive accusation was to ensure that the bribes included one for a million dollars from the Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.

Brill said that by arresting and indicting the president’s brother in a clear attempt to implicate the president, the United States attempted to violate “the sovereignty” of Honduras.

“This case is another in a long line of foreign policy intervention misadventures carried out by the US government, this time to change a regime at the highest levels in Honduras,” Brill wrote.

The lawyer also said that his client “was arrested and charged in a foreign land, by a foreign power, for crimes he allegedly committed in his own country.”

“The days of America acting as the world’s policeman are not over,” he added.

Prosecutors in the case have assured that Tony Hernández should be sentenced to life imprisonment for leading “a criminal drug trafficking association sponsored by the State” together with President Hernández.

Judge Kevin Castel, who will sentence Tony Hernández On Tuesday, he just presided over a trial of Geovanny Fuentes Ramírez, a Honduran accused of drug trafficking and possession of weapons. The name of President Hernández also came up many times in that trial due to the insistence of prosecutors that the president partly financed his political career with drug money.
