Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández continues to deny the claims against him by a U.S. prosecutor, accusing him of helping smuggle tons of cocaine in the country. In February, Hernández warned that anti-narcotics cooperation between his country and the United States could be negatively affected if authorities believe the allegations against him.
New York prosecutor Jacob Gutwillig said that Honduran drug trafficker Geovanny Fuentes had paid Hernández a $25,000 bribe, according to an Al Jazeera report. How can anyone believe false testimonies that I was dealing with drug traffickers, Hernández was quoted in a report.
Gutwillig claimed that the accountant Jose Sanchez was included at the meetings in 2013 and 2014. This was the time Fuentes paid the money to Hernandez.
