洪都拉斯前总统胡安·奥兰多·埃尔南德斯在美国总统特朗普的特赦下获释后,于周日返回洪都拉斯面对腐败指控1。埃尔南德斯曾因毒品贩运罪被引渡至美国,被判处45年监禁,但在12月获得特赦释放1。
埃尔南德斯目前需要应对与"潘多拉一号"案相关的腐败指控1。该案涉及指控他在2010年至2013年间从公共资金挪用中获利,总额超过288万伦皮拉(合1080万美元),其中他本人获益至少620万伦皮拉(合230万美元)用于政治竞选1。6月份,法院曾暂停针对他的逮捕令和国际红色通缉令1。埃尔南德斯已同意于8月3日出庭参加首次庭审1。
律师华金·梅希亚表示:"存在广泛的社会愤怒,但由于恐惧,人们选择保持沉默。"1前反腐特别部队负责人路易斯·哈维尔·桑托斯于2月被撤职,他认为这一举措反映了新政府试图压制反腐调查的意图1。
Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández returned to his home country on Sunday following the suspension of his arrest warrant, after receiving a presidential pardon from U.S. President Trump in December 1. Hernández had previously been sentenced to 45 years in prison on drug trafficking charges after being extradited to the United States, but was released following the pardon 1.
Hernández now faces corruption allegations related to the "Operación Pandora I" case, which involves accusations that he benefited from the misappropriation of more than 2.88 million lempiras (approximately $10.8 million) in public funds between 2010 and 2013 1. According to the facts, Hernández received at least 6.2 million lempiras (approximately $2.3 million) from these diverted funds for political campaign purposes 1. A judge suspended both his arrest warrant and an international red notice against him in June 1. Hernández has agreed to appear in court for his initial hearing on August 3 1.
The return has generated significant concern among anti-corruption advocates. Lawyer Joaquín Mejía stated that "there is a social majority that is outraged, but doesn't speak out because of fear" 1. Luis Javier Santos, the former head of the anti-corruption unit UFERCO, was removed from his position in February, and he views this action as indicative of the new government's efforts to suppress anti-corruption investigations 1.
