Soto Garcia, a Honduran citizen, was arrested on the island of
Roatan off the Caribbean coast of the Central American country,
according to police spokesman Luis Osabas.
The United States had asked for the arrest and extradition of
Soto Garcia, he said.
Soto Garcia is wanted in connection with drug trafficking
charges against Franqui Francisco Flores de Freitas and Efrain
Antonio Campo Flores, the nephews of Venezuelan President
Nicolas Maduro's wife, Cilia Flores.
Flores de Freitas and Campo are fighting charges in a Manhattan
court that they worked with others to try to send 800 kg of
cocaine from Venezuela to Honduras so it could be imported into
the United States.
