Honduras Attorney General Johel Antonio Zelaya announced on Monday that an international arrest warrant has been issued for former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, intensifying the political and legal turmoil surrounding the country’s once-powerful leader. The announcement, shared through a post on X, comes only days after Hernández was unexpectedly pardoned by U.S. President Donald Trump and released from federal prison, where he had been serving a 45-year sentence on drug trafficking and related charges.
Hernández, who governed Honduras from 2014 to 2022, was convicted in the United States for aiding drug cartels and facilitating the trafficking of tons of cocaine into the country. His conviction marked one of the most high-profile cases involving a foreign head of state in U.S. courts. The sudden pardon has drawn global attention and triggered strong reactions across Central America, where his presidency remains deeply controversial.
According to Attorney General Zelaya, Honduran authorities are now seeking international cooperation to secure Hernández’s capture and return. The arrest warrant is tied to ongoing investigations and new legal actions within Honduras, where officials allege Hernández participated in additional crimes during his time in office. While details of the charges have not been fully disclosed, the attorney general emphasized that no individual—regardless of status or pardon received abroad—can evade Honduran justice.
The case has intensified debate about international law, U.S.-Honduras relations, and the long-term political impact of Hernández’s release. Analysts warn that his sudden return to the region could heighten tensions and reopen unresolved issues related to corruption, organized crime, and governance in Honduras.
As the international search for Hernández unfolds, both domestic and foreign observers are closely watching how the latest legal developments will reshape the country’s political landscape and influence broader regional security concerns.
