The trial of a former president of Honduras has begun, raising questions about his role in the country's drug trade. The ex-president is facing charges related to drug trafficking and corruption, with prosecutors alleging that he used his position to protect drug traffickers in exchange for bribes.
During the trial, evidence is expected to be presented linking the ex-president to drug cartels operating in Honduras. This has led to speculation about whether he was truly an anti-drug crusader or a secret weapon for the cartels.
