She was arrested Monday in Virginia at Dulles International Airport
Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman’s wife was arrested Monday in Virginia 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 to import into the USA.
Emma Colonel Aisupuro is also accused of conspiring with others to help El Chapo in her July 2015 escape from Altiplano prison and prosecutors said she also planned with others to arrange another prison escape for the drug lord before his extradition to the US in January 2017.
She will make her first appearance on Tuesday in the DC District Court.
