Víctor Hugo Díaz Morales

Víctor Hugo Díaz Morales, known by his alias 'El Rojo,' is a Honduran drug trafficker who pleaded guilty to drug trafficking in 2019 in the Southern District Court of New York. He is awaiting sentencing for his involvement in an international narcotics organization that transported cocaine from Colombia to the United States, passing through Honduras and Guatemala. During his cooperation with U.S. authorities, Díaz Morales provided critical testimony against other high-profile figures, including former Honduran politician Juan Antonio 'Tony' Hernández, revealing deep ties between narcotrafficking and Honduran politics. His case has drawn significant attention due to allegations of financing political campaigns and his admission of violent crimes, including murder.
