A New York court found the brother of the president of Honduras guilty of drug trafficking on Friday.



Juan Antonio Hernandez, known as Tony Hernandez, was convicted on all four counts, a spokesperson in the Manhattan prosecutor's office told AFP.



Hernandez, a former Honduran congressman, was arrested at a Miami airport in November 2018 on charges of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States, weapons offences and making false statements.
