Hernández's Arrest Warrant Reactivated
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Hondurass Attorney General, Johel Zelaya, has reactivated an arrest warrant for former President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was recently released from a U.S. federal prison after a pardon by Trump. The warrant, issued in 2023, is for alleged fraud and money laundering charges. Hernándezs release has sparked controversy, as he was previously serving a 45-year sentence for drug trafficking. The warrant is linked to the Pandora case, where government funds were allegedly diverted to political parties, including Hernándezs 2013 campaign. Hernándezs lawyer calls the move political, while his wife states he is in an undisclosed location for safety. This development adds complexity to Hondurass political landscape, especially as the country awaits the final results of its recent presidential election.
