Oscar Kilgore
Oscar Kilgore is a Honduran journalist[1] and National Party of Honduras politician and former Mayor of San Pedro Sula (2002–2006).[2] He was imprisoned in 2008 for abuse of authority and corruption relating to a loan he received while Mayor.[3][4] Kilgore was sentenced to three years in prison on the 24th of October, 2017, for abuse of authority due to a $20,000,000 donation made to a church to build a psychiatric hospital. He was later acquitted of these charges.[5] In 2021, Kilgore was found guilty of charges involving 140 purchase orders totaling over one million lempiras to a restaurant owned by the wife of the city's general manager.[6] As of 2021, Kilgore had had 12 trials against him.[7]
