Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez has returned to his home country, Honduras, eight months after being pardoned by US President Donald Trump. He received the pardon while serving a 45-year sentence in the United States on drug and arms trafficking charges.
On Sunday (July 26), he landed at Palmerola International Airport, about 60 kilometers from the capital Tegucigalpa, on a private plane. He was welcomed at the airport by his mother, wife Ana Garcia and other family members. Later, hundreds of party supporters also welcomed him.
