La condena de una integrante de una familia narcotraficante hondure\u00f1a en una corte de Estados Unidos es el m\u00e1s reciente de una serie de acontecimientos que durante el \u00faltimo a\u00f1o han sacudido el panorama criminal de Honduras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El 10 de julio, la Corte Federal del Distrito Sur de la Florida conden\u00f3 a Digna Azucena Valle Valle a 11 a\u00f1os y dos meses de prisi\u00f3n y a cinco a\u00f1os adicionales de libertad condicional supervisada, inform\u00f3 La Prensa.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n En diciembre de 2013, Digna Valle \u2014junto con sus hermanos Miguel Arnulfo y Luis Alonso y su hijo Gerson Stanley Ortega Valle\u2014 fue acusada de conspirar para traficar grandes cantidades de coca\u00edna<\/a> de Colombia a Estados Unidos a trav\u00e9s de Honduras, y fue detenida en julio de 2014<\/a> en el Aeropuerto Internacional de Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Junto con sus hermanos y otros parientes, Digna Valle formaba parte del clan de la familia Valle, identificado en agosto de 2014<\/a> por la Oficina de Control de Activos Extranjeros (OFAC por sus iniciales en ingl\u00e9s) del Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos como una de las \u201cm\u00e1s prol\u00edficas organizaciones centroamericanas de tr\u00e1fico de drogas\u201d. Tambi\u00e9n se sospecha que la familia tiene v\u00ednculos con el Cartel de Sinaloa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Digna Valle enfrentaba una condena de entre 10 a\u00f1os y cadena perpetua. En un intento por recibir una sentencia reducida, se declar\u00f3 culpable de cargos de tr\u00e1fico de drogas y accedi\u00f3 a cooperar<\/a> con los fiscales proporcionando informaci\u00f3n sobre sus conexiones en Honduras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La captura de Digna Valle desencaden\u00f3 un efecto domin\u00f3 que sacudi\u00f3 el mundo criminal de Honduras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n En agosto de 2014, dos meses despu\u00e9s de su arresto, las autoridades hondure\u00f1as incautaron m\u00e1s de 50 propiedades<\/a> pertenecientes a la familia Valle. En octubre, con pocos d\u00edas de diferencia<\/a>, se produjo la captura de tres de sus hermanos<\/a> en el departamento de Cop\u00e1n, base de operaciones de la familia. Esa fue la primera vez que un integrante de la familia era detenido en Honduras, y dos de los hermanos \u2014Miguel Arnulfo y Luis Alonso\u2014 fueron extraditados r\u00e1pidamente a Estados Unidos.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N<\/strong><\/span>: Perfil de los Valles<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n A finales de octubre de 2014, las autoridades hab\u00edan capturado a casi la mitad de los 19<\/a> narcotraficantes hondure\u00f1os<\/a> buscados en Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La captura y posterior extradici\u00f3n<\/a> de algunos de los principales narcotraficantes de Honduras a Estados Unidos \u2014donde potencialmente pueden colaborar con los investigadores estadounidenses al convertirse en informantes\u2014ha erosionando<\/a> el otrora estable mundo criminal <\/a>del pa\u00eds y ha dejado a las \u00e9lites hondure\u00f1as corruptas en una posici\u00f3n inc\u00f3moda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La condena de una integrante de una familia narcotraficante
