WASHINGTON — (AP) — The wife of Mexican d*** kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman pleaded guilty Thursday to charges in the U.S. and admitted that she helped her husband run his multibillion-dollar criminal empire.

Emma Coronel Aispuro, wearing a green jail uniform, appeared in federal court in Washington and pleaded guilty to three federal offenses as part of a plea deal with federal prosecutors.

The charges include knowingly and willfully conspiring to distribute heroin, cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine for several years. She also pleaded guilty to a money-laundering conspiracy charge and to engaging in transactions with a foreign narcotics trafficker.

The 31-year-old was arrested in February at Dulles International Airport in Virginia and has been jailed since then.

Prosecutors have alleged Coronel Aispuro “worked closely with the command-and-control structure” of the Sinaloa cartel and conspired to distribute large quantities of d****, knowing they would be smuggled into the U.S.

As Mexico’s most powerful d*** lord, Guzman ran a cartel responsible for smuggling cocaine and other d**** into the United States during his 25-year reign, prosecutors say. They also said his “army of sicarios,” or “hit men,” was under orders to kidnap, torture and kill anyone who got in his way.

The prosecutor, Anthony Nardozzi, said his wife had “aided and abetted” the Sinaloa cartel’s objectives to smuggle d**** into the U.S. and helped to import more than 450,000 kilograms of cocaine, 90,000 kilograms of heroin, 45,000 kilograms of methamphetamine and about 90,000 kilograms of marijuana.

Her arrest earlier this year was a surprise in part because authorities had made no move to arrest her over the past two years, even after she was implicated in her husband’s crimes. During Guzman’s trial in 2019, prosecutors said she helped orchestrate Guzman’s two prison breaks in Mexico.

Nardozzi said Coronel Aispuro “served as a go-between” to deliver messages to cartel members after her husband was arrested and also conspired with Guzman’s sons to “plan and coordinate” his prison escapes.

Coronel Aispuro listened quietly as prosecutors described how they could prove her illegal activity if she chose to go to trial.

“Yes,” she said through a translator, when asked by the judge if she had actually committed the crimes the government described.

Looks like this chapter is coming to a close. It was a good run

Damn

Should never let your wife know about any activity you're doing if possible

If she's in the dark she can't be pinned

I don't think that's realistic when you're moving like Chapo was lol. He needed a wife who was with the s***s

Still didn't need to use her a a messenger though

Need a ride or die like dat

I mean I feel like it makes the most sense for it to be her or their kids. Who else can Chapo realistically trust to keep his business booming and put together an escape plan from prison, not once but twice? Most of his troops would probably sell him out if they thought they could profit while remaining safe.

She got those "I've seen some dark s***, and I loved it" eyes

Hey I mean his location never seemed to have gotten sold out

I think everyone around him was way too scared of him to do something like that or he would've been caught a long time ago

Definitely think it could've been done differently

but hey who knows, I'm not El Chapo

why in the hell did sean penn think this was a good idea this is just asking for the FBI to get involved in your life

be like chapo you can choose any thotty you want

She’s 31 and Chapo in his 60s. He’s cancelled ❌

damb how tall is sean penn ? cause the nigga chapo is like my height lol
