The wife of “El Chapo” Guzman, Emma Coronel Aispuro (L) listens as attorney Michelle Gelernt answers questions from reporters outside the US Federal Courthouse in Brooklyn after a hearing in the case of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman on February 3, 2017 in New York. Emma Coronel Aispuro, the 31-year-old wife of famed Mexican drug cartel boss Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera, was herself arrested on international drug trafficking charges at Dulles International Airport in Virginia on late Monday afternoon. Eric S. McGuire largely details the ins-and-outs of alleged and multi-faceted conspiracies to spring Guzman from jails in Mexico in which Coronel is said to have played a key role. The complaint also alleges that Coronel helped her husband pass messages “in furtherance of drug trafficking activities” while he attempted to evade capture in the Mexican state of Sinaloa.
