| Description | Less than a year after a convicted drug lord testified that he had met with the Honduran president’s brother to discuss the repayment of debt related to a money-laundering operation, Juan Antonio “Tony” Hernandez was detained Friday by federal agents on drug and weapons charges.
Hernandez, the brother of President Juan Orlando Hernandez, was detained on charges of “conspiring to import cocaine into the United States, and related weapons charges,” said James Margolin, the chief public information officer for the U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, in a statement to the Miami Herald.
Margolin said Hernandez was expected to appear in federal court in Miami on Monday. |
