Honduran extorsionists now aim for bigger companies

Friday, September 2, 2016


Honduras' private sector is calling for police to step up action against extortion in response to a series of aggressive attacks by criminals seeking payments from larger companies, an apparent shift in target for extortionists in the country.

On August 26, unidentified assailants in Comayagüela threw a Molotov cocktail at a building belonging to Camiones y Motores, a distributor for agricultural machinery, such as John Deere tractors, reported El Heraldo.
