A Look Back: Accusations Of Corruption Are Levelled At Mexico's President

Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was arrested and extradited to the United States on drug trafficking charges. His arrest came after a request from U.S. authorities, which was promptly approved by the Honduran Supreme Court and implemented by the national police.Hernández was convicted of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States and related firearms offenses. During his presidency from 2014 to 2022, he was accused of using his position to facilitate the transportation of large quantities of cocaine through Honduras to the U.S., in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes from major drug traffickers.

This includes investigating complaints related to prosecutorial misconduct, unethical behavior, or other violations of DOJ policies.Conduct Audits and Inspections: The OIG conducts audits and inspections of USAOs to evaluate their operations, management practices, and adherence to established policies and procedures. These evaluations help identify areas for improvement and ensure that resources are used efficiently.Review Policies and Procedures: The OIG reviews USAO policies and procedures to assess their effectiveness in achieving the DOJ's goals and objectives. This may involve evaluating how cases are handled, decisions are made, and resources are allocated.Provide Recommendations: Based on its findings, the OIG provides recommendations to USAOs and the DOJ leadership on ways to improve operations, enhance compliance with laws and regulations, and prevent misconduct or inefficiencies.Monitor Compliance: The OIG monitors USAOs' implementation of its recommendations and tracks their progress in addressing identified issues.
