To support President López Obrador’s claims that the injection of a man with an empty syringe at a Covid-19 vaccination center in Mexico City may have been staged and that the media can’t be trusted, the federal government on Wednesday recalled a 2005 case in which two people were arrested for kidnapping on live national television in what was in fact a setup.
The wife of the world’s most notorious drug cartel boss, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, has appeared in court charged with helping him run his drug empire from jail, a day after she was arrested at Washington’s international airport. Emma Coronel Aispuro, a 31-year-old Mexican-American who married the drug kingpin in 2007 after he spotted her in a beauty pageant, is also accused of helping organise her husband’s breathtaking jailbreak in 2015, which.
After a hearing by the Washington DC district court, at which Coronel appeared by video, she was ordered detained without bond, pending trial. Prosecutors had argued she represented a flight risk with access to funds and alleged that the âdefendant worked closely with the command and control structure of the drug trafficking organization known as the Sinaloa cartel â most notably with her husbandâ.
Coronel had apparently believed herself safe enough from prosecution to risk a trip to the US. At her husbandâs 2018 New York trial, she was a daily presence in court, chewing gum behind large sunglasses. The trial led to a sentence of life plus 30 years in prison and an order to forfeit more than $12bn. But Coronel claimed to know nothing about the Sinaloa cartel, that was jointly run by her husband, maintaining that the couple had a modest irrigation firm and that El Chapo was just a âhumble manâ who the media had made âtoo famousâ.
