Honduras issues warrant for former president pardoned by Trump
AI Summary
Honduras' attorney general has called for the arrest of former President Juan Orlando Hernández, recently pardoned by Donald Trump. An existing 2023 Honduran arrest warrant for Hernández, related to alleged fraud and money laundering, is being reactivated. This follows Hernández's release from a U.S. prison after Trump pardoned him for a U.S. conviction of conspiring to import cocaine. Honduran authorities are seeking Interpol's assistance in executing the warrant, citing the need to address corruption. Hernández's lawyer claims the move is politically motivated, while Honduran officials point to the Pandora case, implicating numerous officials in diverting government funds. Hernández was extradited to the U.S. in 2022 by current Honduran President Xiomara Castro.
