Ramón Matta Ballesteros

politician Honduras

Ramón Matta Ballesteros, an 80-year-old Honduran national, has recently gained media attention following a federal judge's order for his release from a high-security prison in the United States, where he had been incarcerated for 37 years. His release is attributed to health concerns and the dismissal of charges related to the assassination of DEA agent Enrique 'Kiki' Camarena, which were withdrawn after it was established that Matta was not present at the crime scene. Currently, he faces challenges regarding his repatriation to Honduras due to his deteriorating health and lack of travel documentation, prompting his legal team to explore options such as hiring a medical transport plane.
