Emma Coronel Aispuro: The rise and fall of a drug kingpin’s wife
Emma Coronel Aispuro had ทดลองเล่นสล็อต xo ทุกเกม a glamorous life in New York, enjoying the benefits of her marriage to drug kingpin Joaquin Guzman Loera, aka El Chapo. Then she was arrested, and thrown in a Virginia jail. What happened to the queen of the drug-cartel world?
The windows of the jailhouse, the William Truesdale Adult Detention Center in Alexandria, are rectangular slats, cut lengthwise into red brick and it’s where Emma Coronel Aispuro is held in solitary confinement, in a tiny cell.
Inside, says her lawyer Mariel Colón Miro, she reads novels, “romantic” ones, to pass the time.
The conditions of the jailhouse mark a sharp contrast with the life she once had.
A few months ago, she had plans to launch a clothing line, El Chapo Guzman. (The couple have style icon status in Mexico and his daughter has also made a foray into fashion using his name).
When I spoke with her in New York during her husband’s trial in 2019, she wore jewels, and an expensive watch.
Then earlier this year, Coronel, 31, was arrested at Dulles International Airport in Virginia and charged with helping her drug lord husband run the notorious Sinaloa cartel. Guzman, 64, is now serving a life sentence in a Colorado supermax facility.
FBI officials said Coronel conspired to distribute cocaine and helped plan her husband’s escape from a Mexican prison in 2015.
