Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez is facing a lengthy prison sentence after being convicted on drug trafficking charges in the United States. U.S. prosecutors are seeking a life sentence and a $25,525,000 fine, arguing that Hernandez abused his political power for over a decade to operate Honduras as a 'narco-state.' Hernandez's defense is requesting the mandatory minimum sentence of 40 years. Hernandez has also requested to serve his sentence at MDC Brooklyn. The sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday.
