A Honduran judge grants former President Juan Orlando Hernández release as corruption trial proceeds

A Honduran judge ruled former President Juan Orlando Hernández will not be jailed during his trial for fraud and money laundering, despite his U.S. pardon for drug trafficking charges. The case, Pandora I, alleges misuse of public funds totaling over $10.8 million, with Hernández barred from leaving Honduras and required to check in weekly with the court.
