TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) -- One of Honduras's most powerful businessmen has been indicted in the United States for allegedly laundering money for drug traffickers.
The U.S. Justice Department released a statement Wednesday saying that Jaime Rolando Rosenthal Oliva, his son Yani Benjamin Rosenthal and nephew Yankel Rosenthal were named in the indictment and seven businesses were labelled "specially designated narcotics traffickers" under the Kingpin Act.
Yankel Rosenthal was arrested Tuesday at Miami's airport.
The statement said they "provide money laundering and other services that support the international narcotics trafficking activities of multiple Central American drug traffickers and their criminal organizations."
