Federal prosecutors accused Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández of conspiring to traffic cocaine into the United States in a New York court Tuesday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jacob Gutwillig said an accountant witnessed the Honduran president speaking about the plans to move the cocaine with a drug trafficker, according to the Associated Press. Hernández allegedly said he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.”
Gutwillig said Hernández and drug trafficker Geovanny Fuentes Ramírez wanted to “send as much cocaine as possible to the United States.” Fuentes Ramírez was charged with drug trafficking and arms possession, but Hernández has yet to be charged.

Federal prosecutors alleged that Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández helped move cocaine into the U.S., during the trial of an alleged Honduran drug trafficker in New York on Tuesday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jacob Gutwillig said Hernández told accused cocaine trafficker Geovanny Fuentes Ramírez to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos” in an exchange sometime in 2013 or 2014, the Associated Press reported. Ramírez is the trafficker currently on trial, while Hernández does not face charges.
