Police Detain Ex-Honduras President Hernandez as U.S. Seeks Extradition


Authorities have detained former president Juan Orlando Hernandez on Tuesday ,February 15, after he left his house in the capital Tegucigalpa, in a dramatic fall from grace only weeks after leaving power.

Hernandez's detention comes after a Honduran judge on Tuesday has ordered the former right-wing leader's arrest amid an extradition request by the United States on drug-trafficking and weapons charges.

Hernandez must appear before the judge within 24 hours, the spokesperson has added.

Washington's request for extradition is in contrast to a period when the U.S. government saw Hernandez as a vital ally in volatile Central America during his eight years in power.

A U.S. Embassy document has said Hernandez was wanted on charges that he participated in a drug-trafficking scheme between 2004 and 2022.

Hernandez, who was replaced as president last month by leftist Xiomara Castro, has pledged to cooperate with national police.

Among the charges, Hernandez, 53, is accused of participating in an operation to receive in Honduras tonnes of cocaine from Colombia and Venezuela, the document has added. The cocaine was then to be shipped to the United States.

The embassy also said Hernandez - who was president from 2014 to 2022 - has received millions of dollars in bribes in exchange for protecting traffickers from investigation and prosecution. The firearms charges include carrying, using, or aiding and abetting the use of weapons, including machine guns.

The U.S. State Department has referred queries to the U.S. Justice Department, which declined to comment. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan declined to comment.
