It was reported July 7, 2020, that the owners of INCOBE, a Honduran heavy machinery company partnered with US and Canadian mining company Aura Minerals, must remain in pre-trial detention. ([link removed]) They are accused of involvement with drug-trafficking organized crime.

In November 2019, we re-published information from Karen Spring (Honduras Solidarity Network), that INCOBE (Inversiones y Comercializadora Benitez), the major heavy machinery business partner of Aura Minerals and its Honduran subsidiary company MINOSA, has been criminally accused drug trafficking and money laundering.

And that SESER (Servicios Especiales de Seguridad), the private security business partner of Aura Minerals/MINOSA, has been linked to illicit drug trafficking activities links to Tony Hernandez, convicted drug-trafficking brother of Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who, himself, is alleged to be directly involved in drug-trafficking.
