Honduras: Congressional VP Accused in Sale of Fake Medicines

2015-07-24 1 Dailymotion

A company owned by the vice president of the Honduras Congress, Lena Gutierrez, and her family, is accused of selling fake medications to the country's public health system, causing the death of at least a dozen women. Gutierrez is currently free on US$1 million bail, has thus far avoided jail time, and will remain in office. Hondurans are indignant over this example of impunity and protests demanding justice for those accused of embezzling the national health system continue.
