HONDURAS - THE ROUND TRIP TO MANHATTAN

Read it:
Honduras, 1988 to 2026. By 2012 most of the cocaine flights leaving Colombia and Venezuela landed on this small country's airstrips, and the money bought police chiefs, mayors, deputies and campaigns. A trafficker's notebooks are cited in Manhattan and he is killed in prison eight days later. A social-security institute is emptied in an election year. A clan films the politicians it meets. A bank lands on the Kingpin list. Then extradition sends the bosses north, and the record shows many of them coming home. Covers Juan Orlando Hernández, convicted in New York, pardoned and his conviction vacated, and his brother Tony Hernández; Devis Leonel Rivera Maradiaga and the Cachiros; the Valle Valle family; the Rosenthal family and Banco Continental; and Mario Zelaya and the Honduran Social Security Institute.
