The beauty queen wife of notorious drug lord 'El Chapo' Guzman is set to be released from prison, before visiting the kingpin in his own lockup. <\/p>\n
Emma Coronel, the third wife of El Chapo, had been under house arrest since last June and is likely to be released today (Wednesday, September 13). <\/p>\n
The 34-year-old was sentenced to three years in prison in 2021 after pleading guilty to three counts of helping the violent Sinaloa drug cartel, headed up by her lover.<\/p>\n

Her charges included conspiracy to launder money and distribute illegal drugs, and engaging in financial dealings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Coronel also admitted to acting as a courier between Guzman and other organisation members while he was locked up in Mexico's Altiplano prison, following his 2014 arrest.<\/p>\n
As well as her three years imprisonment, Coronel was slapped with four years of supervised release which she now begins. She was also given a further two years of supervised release following her release from prison. <\/p>\n
El Chapo, real name Joaqu\u00edn Archivaldo Guzm\u00e1n Loera, is being held in a maximum security prison following his arrest for years of drug smuggling charges.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Sinaloa Cartel leader is now lobbying for his wife to come and visit him while he serves life in prison, writing to a judge in the hopes of his request being approved.<\/p>\n
He hopes Coronel and his two daughters can come and visit him in the Florence, Colorado-based prison.<\/p>\n
El Chapo argued in his letter for the freedom of his wife to cover a potential visit to the ADX Florence complex, BorderlandBeat reported.<\/p>\n
He wrote: "From that date [September 13] on, she will be able to travel all over the country, since she will have probation."<\/p>\n
