From her first interview with a medium (February 12, 2016 for Anabel Hernández with Telemundo), Guzmán Loera regularly went to the house of Colonel Aispuro, since the chief had settled in La Angostura, a small town which did not exceed ten houses at that time.

The criminal boss was hiding from the authorities in Emma Coronel’s country, after escaping from Puente Grande prison, Jalisco, in 2001, with the help of guards and other security guards.

Inés Coronel Barrera, father of Emma Coronel, was on the list of people dedicated to cattle breeding, but in reality it was a poppy and marijuana producer in the region.

After marrying him Chapo, she left Canelas and moved to Culiacán, where her husband allowed her to finish high school and start a career in communication science at the Autonomous University of Sinaloa.

Beyond that, the name of the chief’s third wife did not transcend the bloody years of the cartel war and the battle of the government of Felipe Calderon. But in August 2011, it became known that she had given birth to a pair of twins in the United States, whom they named as María Joaquina and Emali Guadalupe. The godfather of one of them was Dámaso López Núñez, the Diploma.

When her husband was recaptured in February 2014, Emma Coronel went to visit him in the Altiplano prison in the state of Mexico. Both were in Mazatlán on the day of the arrest, as the Chapo he wanted to see his daughters before running away, but he finally fell.

In their networks, interviews and even a reality show, Emma Coronel has flaunted expensive clothes, vacations and even luxury sports cars.

Edgar Colonel Aispuro (younger brother), was detained in Culiacán on August 19, 2015, when driving in a Mustang of the same year. The vehicle was allegedly donated by the Chapo because he helped him escape from the Altiplano, from the cell to the mountains of Sinaloa.

According to investigations, Edgar would have supervised the work of the escape. His arrest was made during transport “Boots”, a pet that his nieces wanted to recover and had left in the State of Mexico; finally, this animal was a clue to find the Chapo and catch it for the third time in January 2016 in Mochis, Sinaloa.

Sure Claudia Coronel Aispuro has no data indicating she was involved in drug trafficking. Emma Coronel shared photos of herself on Instagram where the resemblance between the two was revealed.

Ignacio Coronel Villareal He was killed in Zapopan, Jalisco, on July 29, 2010 during a clash with the army. Emma’s alleged uncle was responsible for much of the methamphetamine trafficking in the United States.

The son of Nacho The colonel, a 16-year-old boy, was kidnapped and murdered in 2010, for the Beltran Leyva (then allied to the Zetas), as part of the break between former allies and which triggered a chapter of violence in the country.

In addition, allegedly planned Guzmán Loera’s escape in July 2015as well as a second breakout that did not materialize after February 2016.

Eric S. McGuire, an FBI special agent who filed the indictments in the District of Columbia, ensures the case is supported by examine thousands of communications intercepted, interrogations of more than a hundred members and former members of the Sinaloa CartelPlus another collaborator, a prolific drug dealer who moved cocaine for the organization.

However, the crucial testimonies of “collaborating witness 1” are noted, in addition to “Senior partner” of Chapo, who offered the most information on the Colonel Aispuro’s alleged criminal plots.

Instead of spending his life behind bars as determined by a judge in 2018, your cooperation gave him the advantage of leaving in 2032.

At 17 years old, it’s not hard to understand that Emma Coronel had few options in a world where planting and shipping drugs was part of the structural state, in activities tolerated as usual.

The press versions pointed out that the wife of the Chapo he would have given himself and he is now waiting to see what he will offer the North American government to become a collaborator; in addition to finally escaping drug trafficking, finding food and protecting her daughters. Meanwhile, the Sinaloa Cartel is already warning of an imminent impact from whoever has broken with them and knows their most intimate operations.
