‘El Chapo’s wife on ice for 3 years

Aided drug cartel

The beauty-queen wife of infamous drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison for helping her husband run Mexico’s murderous Sinaloa cartel.

Emma Coronel Aispuro, 32, was arrested in February at Dulles Airport outside of Washington, DC, and pleaded guilty in June.

The San Francisco-born Coronel (pictured) admitted to conspiracy to distribute thousands of kilos of heroin, coke, meth and marijuana, and to money laundering.

Prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo that she “attempted to aid and abet the goals” of Guzman, whom she married on her 18th birthday in 2007, and cited her role in his notorious 2015 escape from a Mexican prison.

They claimed she bribed prison officials to take good care of El Chapo while he was behind bars, and acted as a gobetween for him and his henchmen, sneaking a GPS watch into the prison for him.

Guzman is serving life behind bars in federal prison in Colorado, where he is locked in his cell for 23 hours a day.

Prosecutors had recommended Coronel serve four years and pay a fine of almost $1.5 million, saying in the memo she had no criminal history prior to meeting Guzman and “swiftly accepted responsibility for her actions.”

Coronel’s lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, told The Post on Tuesday: “We’re pleased with the result and we’re pleased with the court recognizing her very minimal role.”

He said she agreed to the $1.5 million forfeiture.

Coronel made headlines in 2019 when she laughed in Brooklyn federal court as her husband’s mistress sobbed on the stand at his trial, and garnered attention for showing up to court in designer outfits.

Coronel won the 2007 Coffee and Guava Festival beauty pageant in Canelas, Durango, Mexico.
