Tegucigalpa (AFP) - Le Honduras a encore un long chemin à parcourir pour démanteler le "narco-État" qui s'est développé sous l'ex-président Juan Orlando Hernandez (2014-2022), reconnu coupable mercredi à New-York d'avoir aidé à expédier des centaines de tonnes de cocaïne aux États-Unis, s'accordent des experts consultés par l'AFP. M. Hernandez, 55 ans, condamné à 45 ans de prison pour trafic international de drogue, a participé à un réseau qui a expédié environ 400 tonnes de cocaïne aux Etats-Unis entre 2004 et 2022, et l'a protégé, sous ses divers mandats de député, de président du parlement ...

New York (AFP) - Nahun Romero, a Honduran footballer who arrived in New York penniless and undocumented, is living his American dream in the Big Apple where he leads a successful sports school. Romero's soccer academy, with its hundreds of hopeful kids, might have been unimaginable for the Honduran second flight player, who had been in New York working construction full time while moonlighting as a coach. One of the toughest hurdles to climb came six years ago, when he had to convince parents to entrust their children from ultra-diverse Queens to this former Honduran footballer and bricklayer ...

The sentence, which also included an $8 million fine, was less than the life imprisonment that prosecutors had sought -- although Hernandez's age, 55, means he may die behind bars. Hernandez, who US federal prosecutors said tu...
