Juan Orlando Hernandez was found guilty of criminal conspiracy to traffic drugs and arms trafficking, as well as possession of weapons. He now faces life imprisonment, after a historic trial before the American courts.
“I am innocent, tell the world, I love you,” said, after the reading of the verdict, the 55-year-old former head of state. The sentence will be pronounced on June 26. Honduras became a “highway ” for Colombian cocaine during his eight-year presidency.
