Meanwhile, the deputy head of the Innovation and unity party (Pinu), Luis Redondo, was warned through his social networks about the intention to abolish extradition.
A reform of Article 102 of the republic’s constitution was approved by the CN in January 2012, allowing the supply of Honduran lands to some countries for the crimes of drug trafficking, terrorism and organized crime. Two years later he was extradited to the United States Carlos Arnaldo “El Negro” Lobo.
Currently there is no law or regulation governing extradition, only one agreed warrant is allowed by the Supreme Court (CSJ) that processes and resolves the requests for deliverables.
