Sentence of the wife of “El Chapo” was reduced
The woman was arrested and sentenced to three years in prison in November 2021
Emma Coronel Aispuro was sentenced in November of last year to three years in prison in the United States. However, on September 13, 2023, she will be released.
This arrest is due to the crimes of conspiracy to distribute drugs, participation in property transactions belonging to a drug trafficker and money laundering.
This Thursday, the United States Bureau of Prisons reported that the sentence of prisoner 31149-509 would be reduced.
In this way, the US government makes the decision to reduce Coronel Aispuro's sentence from 36 to 31 months.
If you participate in rehabilitation activities or programs, or show good behavior, you could even leave earlier than stipulated.
This, beyond being a sentence reduction, is a common process. Prisoners in the United States only serve 85% of their sentence, and that is why it is estimated that she is detained for 31 months. Detention time since February 2020 would be included.
Emma Coronel at her trial, pleaded guilty in 2021, for helping her husband, "El Chapo" in carrying out his drug trafficking operations.
Also, she was accused of helping her husband's escape plan in 2015, when he was in the Altiplano maximum security prison. The woman was in charge of delivering payments to the prison employees and sending messages to all the members of the cartel, to conspire in his escape.
In November 2021, she was taken into custody of the US Bureau of Prisons. and sentenced to prison. The United States government is the only one with knowledge of her whereabouts.
On February 22 of the past year, she was arrested by the US authorities and they indicated that her arrest took place outside of Washington, at the Dulles International Airport. However, some time later, it became known that she had actually turned herself in.
Despite the fact that the ex-beauty queen always remained, according to her, out of the business carried out by her partner, in the end it became public that she was involved, when she was in the judicial process.
