The brother of the Honduran president has been convicted in a massive drug conspiracy case in New York City.

"He holds his head high knowing in his own heart that what was said about him in court was inaccurate and untrue," Malone said."And so he maintains to this day his innocence of the charges leveled against him and he wants to move forward. And we will."

Another defense lawyer, Michael Tein, had argued that prosecutors had insufficient evidence and that five turncoat witnesses who admitted to dozens of killings were “liars, losers and murderers.” In a closing argument Wednesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Emil Bove said the drug conspiracy was already over six years old in 2010 when Tony Hernández and his associates gained control of the government to protect drug traffickers aligned with the country’s National Party.

He described a scheme that began with monthly"massive cocaine shipments" to the U.S. beginning in 2010 and said the Honduran president used the military to protect drug turf. He accused Tony Hernández of using the national police to kill a rival and said that the"ringleader" in that murder was then promoted to become chief of the force.
