The brutal murder of an alleged Honduran drug trafficker with a potentially critical piece of evidence against the president has the Central American nation’s government pointing the finger at other drug traffickers for his death, while the man’s lawyers suggest the government may have been responsible.
López gained attention earlier this month when the contents of ledgers he was carrying in a secret compartment with guns, grenades and cash were made public in a New York federal courtroom at the drug trafficking trial of Juan Antonio “Tony” Hernández.
The ledgers included entries logging cocaine shipments for Hernández, a former Honduran congressman, and the initials of his brother, President Juan Orlando Hernández, who is known throughout Honduras as JOH. The president has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged.
