TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) – Honduras has removed its ambassador to Colombia amid reports his personal aide was involved in a wild party held at the embassy of Honduras in Bogota which, according to media, was attended by prostitutes and where cell phones and computers were stolen.
Ambassador Carlos Rodriguez quit his post yesterday, Honduras’ foreign ministry said in a release, after the government requested his withdrawal.
Rodriguez’s personal aide went out with friends on Dec 20, picking up some prostitutes in Bogota’s red district before going to the embassy, where they consumed alcohol and trashed the facilities, El Heraldo daily reported.
It was not clear if Rodriguez was present, but the ministry said an investigation was under way.
