Read our privacy policy The wife of Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, Emma Coronel Aispuro, has pleaded guilty to charges related to helping her husband run his international drug trafficking ring. The US-born beauty queen appeared in a Federal District Court in Washington on Thursday to enter her plea on international drug trafficking charges. Ms Coronel Aispuro had initially appeared to have no role in his criminal enterprise until federal prosecutors implicated her during her husband’s 2019 trial – as they said she helped orchestrate El Chapo’s two prison breaks in Mexico.
