International Arrest Warrant Issued for Former Honduran President

The Attorney General of Honduras, Johel Antonio Zelaya, has issued an international arrest warrant for former President Juan Orlando Hernandez. This development follows Hernandez's recent release from a United States prison.

On Monday, Dec 8, 2025, Zelaya announced via X that he had instructed the Agencia Técnica de Investigación Criminal, the main investigative body of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, to collaborate with Interpol in executing the arrest warrant against Hernandez.

Background on Hernandez's Legal Issues

Hernandez had previously been serving a 45-year prison sentence in the United States. He was pardoned by former President Donald Trump. Hernandez was extradited to the US in 2022, where he was convicted of drug and weapons-related offenses. US prosecutors alleged that he transformed Honduras into a "narco-state" and played a central role in a major drug trafficking conspiracy.

Hernandez is also involved in investigations within Honduras concerning alleged misappropriation of over $12 million in state funds during his political campaign. These investigations target both current and former politicians suspected of diverting public money.

The pardon by Trump coincided with political developments in Honduras, as he encouraged support for presidential candidate Nasry “Tito” Asfura, a member of Hernandez's National Party, in the recent presidential election. Asfura currently leads the election with 40.52% of the votes, ahead of his rival Salvador Nasralla.

Hernandez's wife has stated that due to safety concerns, he will not return to Honduras immediately and is currently residing in a secure location in the United States.
