Biden admin reveals ex-Honduran leader on list of corrupt Central American officials
Fox News
The Biden administration placed former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández on a classified list of officials suspected of corruption or undermining democracy in Central America.
The publication of the so-called Engel List fell like a bombshell in Central America, containing the names of another former Honduran president, Porfirio "Pepe" Lobo Sosa, among more than 50 active lawmakers, top politicians and former officials in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras — the so-called "Northern Triangle" countries.
But one notable omission was Hernández, who was in power at the time but reeling from accusations that surfaced in the drug trafficking trial of his brother, ex lawmaker Antonio "Tony" Hernández, that his political ascent had been funded by bribes from drug traffickers. Tony Hernández was sentenced in New York in March to life in prison.
