Former El Chapo lieutenant Damaso Lopez testified that he met with Coronel and Guzman s sons to plot the cartel boss s notorious escape from the prison. According to him, Coronel relayed messages from her husband.
However, Coronel remained unrepentant of her criminal involvement. What I can only say about that is that I have nothing to be ashamed of, she wrote. I am not perfect but I consider myself a good human being and I have never hurt anyone intentionally.
A person familiar with the case told the New York Times that Coronel s plea agreement with Washington prosecutors does not require her to cooperate with US authorities. But, one family insider told the Daily Mail they doubted she was not cooperating as she knows enough.
Stripped of her jewelry, luxury clothes and Louis Vuitton heels, Emma Coronel was unrecognizable as she appeared in a blue and green prison jumpsuit at a virtual court hearing in the United States. Coronel, the third wife of Mexican drug trafficker JoaquÃn âEl Chapoâ Guzmán Loera was denied bail by a judge after being charged last February with international trafficking of cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana. Known as the âKardashian of Sinaloa,â Coronel also stands accused of helping her husband escape from prison in 2015 in a madcap jailbreak that involved a mile-long tunnel dug from his shower.
If convicted of all charges, she faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a fine of $10 million (â¬8.25 million), as well as the prospective humiliation of losing a life spent in a blur of yachts, luxury brands and photo shoots.

Vigil, former chief of international operations for the DEA and one of the world’s leading experts on Mexican cartels, the so-called Narco Princess options are now limited.
The prospect of a long jail sentence and not seeing her beloved twin daughters will provide motivation to turn on Sinaloa cartel and put “big dent” into the narcos.
The wife of infamous convicted drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was arrested Monday for her alleged role in an international drug trafficking scheme,.
Court papers charge that Coronel Aispuro worked with Guzman’s sons and a witness, who is now cooperating with the U.S. government, to organize the construction of the underground tunnel that Guzman used to escape from the Altiplano prison to prevent him from being extradited to the U.S. The plot included purchasing a piece of land near the prison, firearms and an armored truck and smuggling him a GPS watch so they could “pinpoint his exact whereabouts so as to construct the tunnel with an entry point accessible to him,” the court papers say.
After her husband was arrested once again the following year, Coronel Aispuro was engaged in planning yet another prison escape before Guzman was extradited to the U.S. in 2017. After Guzman was rearrested following his escape, Coronel Aispuro lobbied the Mexican government to improve her husband’s prison conditions.
