Brother of Honduran president charged with drug trafficking

The details: U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration officials in a statement described Juan Antonio Hernández, a former member of the National Congress of Honduras, as a “large-scale drug trafficker who worked with other drug traffickers in, among other places, Colombia, Honduras, and Mexico" for more than a decade.

Officials also said in the indictment that Hernandez was involved in the processing and distribution of cocaine that arrived in Honduras by planes, “go-fast vessels, and, on at least one occasion, a submarine.” He even has his own cocaine brand and laboratories in Honduras and Colombia that stamped packets with the symbol “TH” for Tony Hernandez, prosecutors say. If convicted, he could face life in prison.
