Honduran judicial and anti-corruption challenges

Overview

Honduran Attorney General Pablo Emilio Reyes Theodore has requested an increased budget for the Ministerio Público to address limitations in personnel, logistics, and technology. He noted that prosecutors are overburdened, with each managing approximately 2,000 case files, and highlighted that no competitive examinations for new positions have been held in a decade.

Following these resource concerns, the National Anticorruption Council (CNA) raised alarms regarding selectivity in criminal prosecutions. The CNA questioned whether justice institutions are applying consistent rigor across political sectors, citing the dismissal of cases against certain figures and judicial delays in others as evidence of potential patterns of uneven investigation.
