Emma Coronel’s lawyer said the authorities had disclosed information to “kill” Chapo’s wife and their daughters.

Jeffrey Lichtman, Emma Coronel Aispuro’s lawyer, criticized on Monday by federal sources who spoke with the media about the former beauty queen’s alleged cooperation at the expense of the Sinaloa cartel, arguing that the leak was designed to “kill” Chapo’s wife and daughters.

Colonel Aispuro faces charges in the United States for his alleged role in the criminal organization. In an interview for The other side of midnight, of WABC radio, Lichtman, who also defended gangster John Gotti Jr. and Chapo Guzmán himself, claimed that rumors of Coronel Aispuro’s apparent cooperation in snitching on high-ranking members of the Sinaloa cartel, including her own stepchildren, it was the job of the federal agents themselves.

“I won’t comment on what’s going to be done or notLichtman said on the show. But “plant such a story“, He said, is”absolutely the most despicable thing, and possibly the worst tax behavior I have seen in government in over 30 years. “.

Let’s be clear about this. She has two 9-year-old daughters who are at risk, and making such statements lightly involves a very high risk to their lives. Lichtman added.

The idea “started on a blog, a website, I think it’s called Vice, a dirty blog“Lichtman continued, insisting that promoting the idea that Colonel Aispuro would testify against the cartel was in fact.”an attempt (by the American authorities) to assassinate her and her family ”.

According to federal sources consulted by New York Post, Colonel Aispuro was preparing to denounce the leaders of the Sinaloa cartel, including his own stepchildren, the so-called Chapitos: Iván Archivaldo, Jesús Alfredo Guzmán and Ovidio Guzmán López, all sons of the famous chef and founder.

Ultimately, she is cooperating, the source told U.S. media. Emma Coronel, the informant added, wants to flee violence and has always wanted to live in the United States, since she was born in California 31 years ago and has dual citizenship.

Thus, it was speculated that Chapo’s wife would be a candidate for the Protected Witness Program, a recurring measure in the American justice system for those who offer information in exchange for a reduction in their sentence, to be released. and / or to be protected by the American authorities.

However, Lichtman assured that “if there was a cooperation going on or about to start, it was dropped “.

If she did not cooperate, the lawyer concluded that “it was clearly meant to force her to cooperate, to pressure her, to target her family, to make her believe that the only option she had was to cooperate. “.

The magazine Treat in Mexico, he published that Emma Coronel had contacted an American agent, because she wanted to cooperate. Previously, the portal Vice News revealed that It wasn’t an arrest, but a deal.

Agree with TreatIt wouldn’t be the first time that the former beauty queen has contacted US security agencies. The FBI, ICE, and DEA had spoken to him at least, supposedly, since 2017.

“Ms. Coronel told us about her delivery plans several days before she arrived at Dulles Airport. This was notified to the Department of Justice and prosecutors to prepare the necessary once she arrived in Washington.Said the source contacted by journalist Jesús Esquivel.

Anabel hernandez, a journalist who investigated the Sinaloa cartel for 16 years, was able to confirm that Emma Coronel was alone, penniless and furious because of Chapo’s marital betrayals, he therefore broke with the criminal group.

“The family were very worried because she was already arrested and they didn’t know what to do that’s what they told meThe journalist commented to Infobae Mexico after contacting a reliable source within the Sinaloa cartel on February 24.

In the group led by Los Chapitos and Ismael Zambada García, el Mayo, they reportedly let Emma Coronel know that they were unhappy with the media attention he was getting and in which he was collaborating by exposing his private life on social media .

But she didn’t listen, even when her mother tried to contain her, as Anabel Hernández commented for this media.
