(Reuters) - A federal judge in New York on Tuesday sentenced a Honduran man who prosecutors linked to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez and other top officials to life in prison plus 30 years for drug trafficking and related weapons charges.

Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was convicted last March of smuggling drugs into the United States with the help of Hernandez, who was president from 2014 until last month when Xiomara Castro took office.
