The RICHEST Family in HONDURAS… They Started Making Soap and Now They OWN Your Potato Chips
That bag of plantain chips you open while watching the game, the oil used to fry food in half of Honduras, and the soap you used to wash the dishes last night often come from the same company. Behind it all is the Facussé family, the most powerful the country has ever produced, descendants of Palestinian immigrants from Bethlehem who were known in Honduras as "the Turks." And it all started in 1960 with Miguel Facussé and a small soap and detergent factory. Here we tell you how he converted warplanes into cargo planes, how he sold his company Cressida to Unilever for more than three hundred and twenty million dollars, why one of his nephews became president of Honduras, and what really happened in the Bajo Aguán region.
