El Chapo is currently in jail and is on trial for several crimes including murder, conspiracy, money laundering and drug trafficking. We previously mentioned how El Chapo who’s legal name is Joaquin Guzman was looking to at least be able to hug his wife since he has been in jail during the trial and has also been subject to solitary confinement.
As per Barstool Sports, the wife of the drug kingpin whose name is Emma Coronel claims she had no idea of El Chapo’s criminal history and never witnessed him do anything illegal. She blames the media for making him this larger than life criminal and she has no idea where they could’ve got an idea that her husband is a criminal.
Emma Coronel, the Los Angeles-born Mexican beauty queen, has been seen in Brooklyn federal court in recent weeks while her husband stands trial on multiple charges including murder conspiracy, drug trafficking, and money laundering. When Coronel, 29, was asked by Spanish-language network, Telemundo, on Monday if she had any clue about her husband’s criminal activities, she said she didn’t. ‘Of course not. The media outlets gave Joaquin too much fame,’ Coronel said of her husband. ‘They made him too famous.’ She also added that it was the media who built up El Chapo’s image as a notorious drug kingpin.
Safe to say that El Chapo has a ride or die in his wife and I can see why he would request to get a hug from her at bare minimum. El Chapo has in the past escaped prison and has also been responsible for the murder of jury members. As of today, he is known as probably one of the biggest criminals ever and allegedly responsible for thousands of murders and millions of dollars worth of cocaine.
We’ll see soon enough if the jury in this trial agrees with Mrs. El Chapo. Flip the page to see the video done by Telemundo where they interview Coronel along with pictures of her. It’s in Spanish but I’m sure you can follow along with the subtitles.
