Last week, US President Donald Trump unexpectedly pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández, who was serving a 45-year sentence for cocaine trafficking. Hernández walked out of federal prison in the US. But the attorney general in Honduras has now ordered authorities there to arrest him. Back home, Hernández is facing allegations of fraud and money laundering. His lawyer says the charges are “completely baseless.” For now, though, Juan Orlando Hernández is not taking any chances. He’s in hiding, and his whereabouts are unknown.
