TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS.- The video of the interview that an agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA, for the acronym in English) to alleged Honduran drug trafficker Geovanny Fuentes after his arrest in Miami, United States, was disclosed this Tuesday.
In the material presented by the New York District Attorney’s Office, Fuentes accepted that he knew “Los Cachiros”, who testify against him today.

The officer asked the defendant if he knew “Los Cachiros” and Geovanny replied that he did, but never did business with them.
“I met them … I saw them at a party once. I met them both (Devis Leonel, Javier Eriberto Rivera Maradiaga) and another of their brothers: his name is Isidro,” said Fuentes.
The Honduran said he had conversations with them, “but we have never had any kind of illegal negotiations with them. You have them here, you can ask them.”

Later, the DEA agent asked him if he knew the National Grenadiers company and the alleged capo stated that it belonged to businessman Fuad Jarufe, with whom he worked when he was just a young man.
The revelations were made by the kingpin on the day he was arrested at the Miami airport in early 2020.
