MADRID, 20 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -
Tony Hernández, a former representative of the Honduran National Congress and brother of former president Juan Orlando Hernández, who is also a prisoner, has asked a United States court of appeals to annul the life sentence he was sentenced for a crime of drug trafficking.
Hernández's defense maintains that his rights were violated since when he was detained at the Miami airport in November 2018 he was not in the presence of a lawyer because US prosecutors would have violated federal laws.
"The mistake of admitting Mr. Hernández's statement was not harmless and therefore the court's decision must be reviewed again (...) The prosecutors knew that Mr. Hernández should have been represented by a lawyer," explained his lawyer, Jesse M. Siegel, reports the newspaper 'El Heraldo'.
In the recording of the arrest, the authorities can be seen asking Hernández if he had a lawyer. After answering in the affirmative, they could not find him, but the interrogation continued its course. In turn, he maintains that before his arrest he revealed his intentions to collaborate with the New York Prosecutor's Office.
Finally, and after more than a year and a half in provisional prison, the brother of the former Honduran president was sentenced to life imprisonment for drug trafficking crimes, as well as the return of some 138.5 million dollars, the amount that the authorities believe that he could have amassed after more than fifteen years maneuvering to bring nearly 185,000 kilos of cocaine to the United States.
For his part, his brother and former president, Juan Orlando Hernández, will also be tried in April 2023 in the United States for drug trafficking crimes, after he was arrested in February 2022 and extradited a month later.
According to the accusation, the former Honduran president was related to, among others, the Mexican drug lord Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán, and the drug trafficker Geovanny Fuentes Ramírez, who would have financed his 2013 presidential campaign in exchange for protection and to avoid a possible extradition.
