El Chapo's Wife Emma Coronel Aispuro Granted Release from Prison, US Authorities Confirm
Emma Coronel, the wife of Mexican drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzman, is set to be released from prison in Los Angeles after serving a reduced three-year sentence for her involvement in drug trafficking and money laundering activities. Coronel, who admitted to acting as a courier for the Sinaloa drug cartel, had quickly accepted responsibility and agreed to forfeit nearly $1.5 million in proceeds. Her husband, El Chapo, is serving a life sentence in the US after being extradited in 2017. It is unclear if Coronel will face charges in Mexico for drug trafficking or other crimes.
