TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - Former Honduran President Porfirio Lobo is being investigated on suspicion of involvement in laundering illegal drug money as part of a wider probe into his 2010-14 administration, an international anti-corruption mission said on Friday.
The anti-graft unit of the Organization of American States (OAS) said the probe into Lobo began after Devis Leonel Rivera, a leader of the "Los Cachiros" drug cartel, testified in a U.S. court that he had given money to Lobo's 2010 election campaign.
