Three Honduran citizens have been extradited to the United States to face charges of alleged drug trafficking in San Francisco, federal prosecutors said.

Jorge Alberto Viera-Chirinos, Mayer Benegas-Medina and Elmer Bonilla Matute face federal felony charges for their involvement in separate conspiracies to sell drugs in San Francisco's Tenderloin district, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement Tuesday.

Prosecutors said Viera-Chirinos was originally charged on July 29, 2019, for allegedly participating in a conspiracy to distribute drugs in the Tenderloin neighborhood.
