"Honduras handed an ally of imprisoned former president Juan Orlando Hernandez over to the United States on Wednesday to face drug trafficking charges, police said. The move comes amid a diplomatic dispute with Washington that saw President Xiomara Castro, Hernandez’s successor, announce the end of an extradition treaty between the two countries."

"The former local deputy mayor is accused by US authorities of conspiring to import large quantities of cocaine into the United States and using machineguns to protect shipments."

"Fifty Hondurans accused of drug trafficking have been extradited to the United States over the past decade, including Hernandez, who was sentenced in June in New York to 45 years in prison."
