Honduras issues arrest warrant for ex-president Hernndez recently pardoned by Trump [View all]

Honduras’s attorney general said he has issued an arrest warrant for former President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was freed from US federal prison last week after being pardoned by President Donald Trump.

Attorney General Johel Antonio Zelaya Alvarez said on X Monday that he had asked government agencies and global police agency Interpol to arrest Hernández, who is accused of money laundering and fraud.

“We have been lacerated by the tentacles of corruption and by criminal networks that have profoundly marked the life of our country,” Zelaya said.

His post included a photo of the Supreme Court’s arrest order which was dated Nov. 28, the same day Trump announced his intention to pardon Hernández –– a move that drew criticism from both sides of the political aisle in both the US and Honduras.
