Former Honduras President to Be Extradited to the U.S. on Drug-Trafficking Charges
The Supreme Court of Honduras ruled unanimously that former President Juan Orlando Hernández should be extradited to the U.S. and face trial in New York on charges he helped smuggle tons of cocaine in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes, a court spokesman said on Monday.
Mr. Hernández was arrested by Honduran security forces in February after the U.S. requested his extradition following a three-count indictment made on Jan. 27, hours after Mr. Hernández left office.
