Honduran ex-police chief extradited to US to face drug charges
Former Honduran police chief Juan Carlos Bonilla was extradited Tuesday to the United States, where he stands accused of supervising drug trafficking operations on behalf of ex-president Juan Orlando Hernandez.
Hernandez, 53, was extradited to the United States last month to face drug trafficking charges, less than three months after he left the presidency following eight years in office.
An airplane belonging to the US Drug Enforcement Agency took off from a military base in Tegucigalpa with a handcuffed Bonilla aboard, an AFP journalist at the scene saw.
Bonilla, 61, was implicated during a trial in a New York court in which Hernandez's ex-congressman brother Tony was convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to life in prison.
