Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez snuck huge loads of cocaine into the United States, a US examiner said Tuesday at the preliminary of a blamed medication dealer.
That charged dealer, Geovanny Fuentes, paid off the president with $25,000 in real money and this made Fuentes "unapproachable," investigator Jacob Gutwillig said in opening contentions at the New York government preliminary.
The president, said the examiner, "made the litigant impenetrable."
Fuentes paid the cash to Hernandez in gatherings in 2013 and 2014, the examiner said.
Hernandez has been in power since January 2014 and won a second term in 2018.
A bookkeeper named Jose Sanchez who was available at those gatherings will tell the jury "the stun, the dread he felt when he saw the respondent sitting with the president," said Gutwillig.

Sanchez worked at a rice-developing organization through which the litigant laundered cash, the investigator affirmed.
This observer will tell the jury that the president told Fuentes "that they'd transport such a lot of cocaine into the US they'd push the medications up the noses of the gringos," said Gutwillig.
Protection lawyer Eylan Schulman attempted to dishonor what the observer purportedly plans to tell the jury.

"Probably $25,000 is all it expenses to pay off a president," said Schulman.
Sanchez, said Schulman, "has a ton to acquire and little to lose. He has a shelter application forthcoming with the migration administration."
US examiners believe Hernandez to be a co-backstabber of Fuentes in pirating huge loads of cocaine to the US yet they have not charged him.
The president's sibling, Tony Hernandez was seen as blameworthy of enormous scope drug dealing at a New York preliminary in 2019.
