The wife of the Mexican drug lord known as “El Chapo” was arrested in Virginia on Monday on charges related to her connection to the Sinaloa Cartel’s international drug trafficking operation and her involvement in helping her husband escape from a Mexican prison in 2015.
Emma Coronel Aispuro, a 31-year-old dual U.S.-Mexican citizen married to Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera, who was convicted in 2019 and is currently serving a life sentence inside a U.S. supermax prison, was arrested at Washington Dulles International Airport after being charged in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and marijuana inside the United States. Coronel Aispuro was also charged with helping Guzman Loera make his 2015 escape from Altiplano prison in Mexico, as well as with attempting to help him escape from a Mexican prison again after he was rearrested in 2016 before he was extradited to the United States in 2017. Guzman Loera had previously escaped from Mexican prison in 2001.
