EL CHAPO’S DRUG QUEEN DETHRONED!
Busted by feds two years after hubby’s conviction
MURDEROUS Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s beauty queen wife has been busted on international drug trafficking charges!
Federal prosecutors arrested Emma Coronel Aispuro, 31, on charges of participating in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana for importation in the U.S.
The leggy brunette is also accused of scheming to help coordinate the bloodthirsty cartel king’s audacious escape from a high-security Mexican prison in July 2015.
Coronel, a dual U.S.-Mexico citizen who wed the drug thug in 2007 when she was 17, was a fixture at his high-profile trial in New York two years ago.
Known as “La Reinita,” or “The Little Queen,” she often wore matching outfits with her hubby, whose nickname translates as Shorty.
El Chapo was sentenced to life in prison in July 2019. Since he was extradited to the U.S., more than 82 Mexican politicians have been assassinated! Lawmen claim El Chapo ordered the killings to settle the score with officials who didn’t stop him from being shipped across the border.
Prosecutors allege Coronel was not only aware of her husband’s role as leader of the bloodthirsty Sinaloa cartel, but also helped his drug trafficking operation by serving as his go-between.
While Guzman, now 63, hid out from Mexican authorities between 2012 and 2014, his wife allegedly “relayed messages” for him “in furtherance of drug trafficking activities,” according to an arrest affidavit.
After the drug kingpin was bagged in Mexico in February 2014, Coronel allegedly played a key role in his infamous 2015 jailbreak — an elaborate monthslong plan to dig into Guzman’s cell and whisk him away through a lighted, mile-long tunnel on a motorcycle, court papers say.
Coronel was nabbed at Dulles International Airport in Virginia on Feb. 22.
Her husband is caged at Colorado’s escape-proof Supermax prison, known as the Alcatraz of the Rockies.
