Ten things you need to know about the 31-year-old wife of ‘El Tsapo’ – Kosmos

. They got married on 2/7 of 2007, on the day of her 18th birthday. The groom was 50 (up and down, as he has no official date of birth). They met at the Coffe and Guava festival, where she wore the beauty crown. To be precise, the acquaintance took place at the party that every participant of the beauty contest had to organize. The marriage was first agreed between ‘Chapo’ and her father.

. After the news was announced, Emma was chosen as the winner of the contest, with 400 of the 800 available votes. She says they preferred her because she deserved it. The villains that ‘Chapo’ paid for the result to be correct.

2016 In 2016 the wife revealed to the Los Angeles Times how she fell in love with her husband. “He won me over with the way he talked, the way he treated me and how we found them, from the first moment, first as friends and then as anything else. He always won people over in his own way, in the way he treated them, in the way he cared for them.

“In a dance the men come and ask you if you want to dance with them. He was dancing with another girl and I with my then boy when we met in the center of the track. He asked me to dance and I accepted. It was love with the first eyes”.

Ma Emma was born in San Francisco, on July 3, 1989 – during a visit by relatives with her mother, Blanca Estela. Because of her father’s professional activities, she grew up in a remote village in Sinaloa, Angostura (population 6000). Her parents sent her back to the US when she was 11, but she returned unscathed because she missed her family and life in the countryside. But I did not tell you what work her father did.

. Officially, Ines Coronel Barreras was a rancher and farmer – with his crops being beans and corn. Unofficially, he cultivated marijuana and opium poppies on his land, and as Chapo’s ‘deputy chief’ he was responsible for the passage of drugs into the United States, from the Mexican-Arizona border.

He was arrested, together with the eldest son of Inés Omar Coronel Aispur, by the Mexican forces, on 30/4/2013. On 28/4/2017 he was sentenced to 10 years, 5 months and 9 days in prison, while he paid a fine of 644 euros , for drug trafficking (there were 250 kilos of cannabis at the place of arrest) and illegal possession of weapons (he had four automatic weapons, owned by the army). He has since been held in the Hermosillo High Security Prison. Located in the heart of northwestern state, Sonora. Emma insisted that it was a conspiracy so that the government could take over the family property.

Barreras had become known as ‘El Suegro’ (the father-in-law), and his relative was Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Coronel Villareal, a former cartel boss who was killed in a shootout with Mexican security forces in 2010. Notably, his youngest son, Edgar, was arrested in 2015, as an accomplice of ‘Chapo’ in the escape from the high security prison, Altiplano. Let’s go back to the daughter.

✍ In the final stages of her pregnancy, in 2011 Emma drove to California to give birth to the twin girls of the couple (Emalí Guadalupe and Maria Joaquína) on 15/8/2012. She did not mention her father’s name on her birth certificate ( has a total of 19 children), because he was wanted. The first time Chapo was arrested (for murder and drug trafficking), he had spent eight years in prison before escaping in 2001 (he hid in a wheelchair transporting laundry from prison to the laundry).

From then on, for 13 years, he was a fugitive and was advertised for $ 8.7 million. In those years, Emma kept a low profile and declared herself a journalism student in Culiácan, the capital of Sinaloa. She then admitted that while her husband was a fugitive, they had met twice because he wanted to see his daughters.

Cha ‘Chapo’ was arrested on 22/2/2014 (for the murder of 12 people -among others), after a dramatic pursuit of the Mexican army and two different American units, he was located and returned to prison, where he was monitored by cameras 24 hours a day. twenty-four hours. Nevertheless, he escaped from tunnels dug for ten hours, every day by his accomplices, for a whole year – the door was in the prison showers. The whole “job” cost $ 50 million and text messages proved that the plan came from Emma who nevertheless was not arrested. Freedom lasted only six months – in Most Wanted you will see the reason.

“When I became a mother, I started to worry about my daughters. Whether they would pay the price for what happened. the reason”.

2016 In 2016 Emma agreed to speak to the journalist who was ‘chasing’ her interview from the day she met ‘Chapo’. The reason had to do with the recent arrest of her husband, as Anabel Hernández told the Guardian. “I think he agreed to speak out because, as he said, the Mexican government wanted to kill Chapo, who had become dangerous to the officials he had worked with for years. He knew that if he talked about it, he would reduce the chances. These connections were part of the movie that ‘Chapo’ wanted to make. He was crazy and wanted to tell the whole story, something not everyone else wanted”.
