Juan Orlando Hernández, the former President of Honduras, has been found guilty in a high-profile trial in New York, facing charges related to drug trafficking, including conspiracy to import controlled substances into the United States and conspiracy to use or carry firearms. The trial has revealed significant details, including allegations that the Israeli embassy in Colombia laundered between $100-150 million USD for Mexican drug traffickers. The Department of Justice stated that Hernández and his co-conspirators were responsible for funneling over 400 tons of cocaine into the United States, securing millions in drug money from cartels during his time in office.
