Wife of El Chapo Sentenced to 3 YEARS in Prison
The wife of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera – notorious kingpin on the multi-billion dollar Sinaloa drug cartel – has been sentenced to 3 years in prison, two years after her husband was locked up in the US.
Emma Coronel Aispuro admitted involvement in his operations, smuggling him out of Mexican prison in 2015, and conspiracy to distribute 100 tons of Marijuana, cocaine, heroin and meth.
It had been recommended her sentence be between 51-71 months, but leniency was given due to her marrying El Chapo when she was just 18 and being under his power.
