He ran Honduras’s most violent gang like a paramilitary force.

Drugs. Guns. Murder. Terror.

In this episode of Fugitive Files, we dig into the chilling case of Yulan Adonay Archaga Carias, better known by his alias “Porky” — the alleged leader of MS-13 in Honduras, and one of the most dangerous fugitives on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.

According to federal authorities, Archaga Carias directed a sprawling criminal enterprise from Honduras, coordinating drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, violent extortion, and targeted killings — both in Central America and the United States.

Prosecutors say he ordered executions, armed his gang with military-grade weapons, and sent cocaine and cash across international borders with deadly precision. His indictment includes:

  • Racketeering (RICO)

  • Conspiracy to distribute controlled substances

  • Firearms offenses

  • Conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering

He escaped custody in a dramatic shootout in Honduras — and has been on the run ever since. The FBI is offering up to $5 million for information leading to his arrest.

This is a story about violence, power, and the global reach of gang warfare.

This is Fugitive Files. Let’s get into it.
