Ex- Honduras first lady Rosa Bonilla convicted of corruption

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — A court in Honduras has convicted former first lady Rosa Elena Bonilla and her private secretary of corruption for the second time. Bonilla was sentenced to 58 years in prison in September 2019 for embezzling more than $1 million in government money between 2010 and 2014, when her husband Porfirio Lobo was president. But six months later the Supreme Court of Justice overturned her conviction, citing procedural problems and ordering a new trial. On Thursday, that second trial resulted in a conviction too. Honduras’ court system said via Twitter Thursday that the court had unanimously convicted Bonilla of embezzlement.
