Midence Oquelí Martínez Turcios

Midence Oquelí Martínez Turcios is a former Honduran congressman facing sentencing in the United States for his involvement with the violent drug cartel Los Cachiros. Accused of leveraging his military background and political position to facilitate drug trafficking operations, he allegedly led armed convoys transporting cocaine from clandestine airstrips in Honduras to the U.S. border. The U.S. District Attorney's office has recommended a minimum sentence of 30 years, citing his choice to align with major narcotics traffickers instead of serving his constituents.
