At the meeting, El Chapo told Tony Hernández he was looking to open new trafficking routes through Honduras.
El Chapo then asked if, under his brother's administration, the Valle brothers or Ardon Soriano himself would be extradited for prosecution.
AdvertisementAt that point, El Chapo offered $1 million to Hernández's campaign, Ardon Soriano testified.
At a different meeting that year, Ardon Soriano and Tony Hernández met with El Chapo again, and El Chapo personally handed the briefcase with $1 million to Hernández, the convicted drug trafficker testified.
"Juan Orlando Hernández told me that he had had them extradited because they had tried to have him killed," Ardon Soriano told the jury.
