Cocaine on Sale in Parliament Office

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (Reuters) - A staff member of the Central American Parliament, a body that promotes regional integration, was arrested for selling cocaine in the parliament's offices in Honduras, police said.
"We arrested Jorge Alberto Caceres in the parliament offices where he carried out the distribution and sale of cocaine," prosecutor Doris Aguilar told Reuters Thursday.

It was not clear what position Caceres held. The parliament, which has few powers, has its headquarters in Guatemala and offices in Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador.

In August, a Honduran deputy in the parliament was arrested while trying to smuggle 15 pounds of heroin into Nicaragua.
