Honduran president's brother sentenced to life in prison in U.S. for drug trafficking

 

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Tony Hernandez, a former Honduran congressman and brother of the sitting president, was sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years for drug trafficking by a U.S. judge on Tuesday.

Hernandez, 42, was convicted on the drug charges and related weapons charges in October 2019. Hernandez will also be forced to pay $138.5 million in forfeiture, which prosecutors in their sentencing memo here wrote was "blood money" from drug trafficking. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-honduras-corruption-idUSKBN2BM39V
