She was arrested Monday in Virginia at Dulles International Airport
Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman’s wife was arrested in Virginia on Monday at Dulles International Airport on charges of international drug trafficking, with prosecutors accusing her of participating in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana for import into the US.
Emma Coronel Aisupuro has also been charged with conspiring with others to aid El Chapo in his July 2015 escape from Altiplano prison and prosecutors said she also planned to work with others to arrange another jailbreak for the drug lord before he was extradited to the US in January 2017.
She will first appear in DC court on Tuesday.
