Honduran authorities found Saturday paper and chemicals for counterfeiting money at the hotel of an Irani who was shot to death in La Esperanza in the western province of Intibuca, police said.
The local police commissioner, Guido Gomez Chavez, told reporters that officers had searched the mountainside hotel Cabanas Los Pinos where the Irani owner, Branni Medy Mohammed, 52, and his watchman, Juan Dominguez, were shot dead Friday.
The Honduran press said Saturday that the Irani, a naturalized U.S. citizen, built his mountain hotel mostly with wood he cut himself.
The operation uncovered two suitcases containing paper for counterfeiting bills and eight containers of chemicals supposedly for “work in the falsification of money,” Gomez Chavez said.
The police official did not specify either the amount of paper found, its origin or the date when the material might have been acquired.
He added that the search also brought documents to light that made them surmise that Mohammed “had contacts in Mexico and Venezuela.”
Gomez Chavez said that Mohammed lived at least 10 years in Honduras with his Honduran wife, Elda Iris Pineda, and their three children, all minors.
