Tony Hernández
Antonio 'Tony' Hernández is a Honduran politician and former congressman who is known for his involvement in drug trafficking. He was sentenced to life in prison in 2019 in the United States for his role in a large-scale drug smuggling operation. His brother, Juan Orlando Hernández, served as the President of Honduras from 2014 to 2022 and has also faced legal troubles related to narcotics.
