The untold truth of El Chapo's wife

If Hollywood has taught us anything about organized crime, it's that behind every successful mob boss there's a strong woman — or, at the very least, a complicit one. The beautiful Emma Coronel is like a real-life Carmela Soprano or Elvira Hancock, but the wife of infamous Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman actually puts both movie characters to shame with her big spending and unwavering support of her dangerous husband.
El Chapo rose to prominence as the head of the Sinaloa Cartel, founded in the mid 1980s in one of Mexico's poorer, mountainous regions. After several deadly battles with rival cartels, Sinaloa emerged as a dominant force in the drug smuggling trade, and the reach it has today is staggering. "Its tentacles stretch from New York City to Buenos Aires, and across the Atlantic into Europe and Africa," The Telegraph reports. "By some estimates the Sinaloa cartel is present in 50 countries." For a man of small stature (Chapo actually means "shorty" in Mexican slang), Guzman has cast a huge shadow, but it looks like the party is finally coming to an end. The infamous mob boss is currently behind bars in New York where he awaits what will be one of the biggest drug trafficking trials in U.S. history, but what is his wife's role in all of this? You're about to find out because this is the untold truth of Emma Coronel.
