A judge in Honduras has ordered the extradition to the United States of the country’s former national police chief on drug trafficking and weapons charges.

The Associated Press

Juan Carlos Bonilla Valladares served as the Central American country’s top police official in 2012 and 2013. Better known as “El Tigre, ” or “The Tiger,” Bonilla faced allegations of human rights abuses during his time in command.The United States had requested Bonilla’s arrest and extradition in May of last year on drug and weapons charges. Prosecutors labeled him a co-conspirator of former President Juan Orlando Hernández and the president’s brother Tony Hernández.

U.S. prosecutors in Manhattan announced charges against Bonilla in April 2020, alleging that he used his law enforcement clout to protect U.S.-bound shipments of cocaine. Bonilla denied at the time being a drug trafficker.

Honduras is impacted mostly by organized crime, high-risk communities, and a weak governance unable to challenge inadequate responses to human rights violations and widespread violence caused by armed structures such as gangs and drug trafficking
