Official Statement from The Office of the President of the Republic of HondurasThe Presidency of the Republic of Honduras in response to the accusations of the Prosecutor of the Southern District of New York, Geoffrey S. Berman, against the former chief of the National Police, Juan Carlos Bonilla, informs to the Honduras people and the international community

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, May 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/-- In a criminal accusation
promoted by a US prosecutor against the former head of the National Police,
there are references to the President of Honduras that are far from the truth and
the Honduran Government categorically rejects them based on public records
and verifiable facts. Court records demonstrate that these false testimonies
against President Juan Orlando Hernandez come from confessed assassins and
drug traffickers who were captured, prosecuted and extradited by the Hernandez
Administration.

Immediately after the 2013 elections, President-elect Juan Orlando Hernandez
requested to President Porfirio Lobo to name a new leadership in the National
Police, this action on its own is a statement and reassurance of Hernandez's
commitment to combat drug trafficking and transnational crime. One of the firm
policies of Hernandez has been from the very beginning of his administration to
purge the police from criminals, especially those proven tied to human right
violations, transnational crime, modern slavery and others unlawful activities.
President Hernandez is leading an unprecedented purge of the National Police,
resulting in the removal of General Bonilla, along with 43% of the entire police
force, including most of the top ranks.
On December 20, 2013, AP reported: "Gen. Juan Carlos Bonilla was removed as
chief the police by President Porfirio Lobo, who said he acted after consulting
with President-elect Juan Orlando Hernandez" who would take office the
following month.

The method President Hernandez chose for purging the National Police is
significant: he empowered respected members of civil society to manage the
entire process, thus he guaranteed an impartial screening not subject to personal
or political interests, https://www.laprensa.hn/honduras/1376531-410/omar-rivera-
comision-indicios-tigre-bonilla
The Washington DC based Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
(Wilson Center), prepared an extensive evaluation report of the purging process of
the national police. In the presentation of the report Eric L. Olson, representative
of the Wilson Center for Central America, stressed, "The political will of
government authorities, especially that of President Juan Orlando Hernandez
and his Secretary of Security Julian Pacheco, to carry on the police reform
initiative and make the decisions conducive to achieving the necessary cleaning
in the structure of the institution."

History is proving that President Hernandez has a strong hand against organize
criminal organizations with successful results that have been fundamental for
national, regional and hemisphere security.
Moreover, President Hernandez has promoted several key laws to strengthen the
judiciary system and the office of the general prosecutor to combat organize
crime, including the approval in Congress and the implementation of the
extradition law that has put the most wanted criminals in the hands of the US
judiciary system, facing fierce domestic resistance and several life threats against

him and his family. President Hernandez understood that the extradition law was
crucial to deliver drug lords and other criminals to foreign courts outside the
influence of any president or any politician to make sure that justice was served.
In partnership with the US and other allies' countries, Hernandez has achieved
extraordinary results in reducing drug trafficking. The Government of Honduras,
based on other cases where confessed criminals negotiate and give false
testimonies seeking reduction of their sentences and other benefits, is concerned
that these Honduran confessed criminals are negotiating reduction of their
sentences which will allow them to return to the country and reestablished their
criminal activities and kingdoms of terror. For that reason, President Hernandez
has publicly requested not to negotiate reduction of sentences for the criminals
that his government has extradited to the US in order to end their kingdoms of
terror and narco trafficking activities. "Reducing sentences of the extradited
criminals will be a setback for the war against transnational crime," President
Hernandez stated.
These are the facts that speak for themselves: more than 6 thousand people
arrested for drug trafficking, 500 disjointed gangs, about 19 thousand kilos of
cocaine decomposed, and 1,300 kilos of liquid cocaine, 162 thousand coca plants,
more than 175 thousand pounds and about one million marijuana plants seized;
in addition 19 narco4aboratories have been dismantled, 263 clandestine landing
strips were disabled and nearly 1,800 goods and assets have been seized from
these drug traffickers.
It is confirmed by the U.S. Southern Command that during President Hernandez
administration drug trafficking through Honduran territory going to the USA
market has been reduced from 70 to only 2 percent.
