El Chapo’s Beauty Queen Wife Released From US Prison

The wife of Mexican crime lord El Chapo has been released from US custody after serving less than two years in prison.

Emma Coronel Aispuro, 34, was released from a halfway house, which is part of the Long Beach Residential Reentry Management, on Wednesday afternoon.

She was sentenced to three years in prison in November 2021 for helping her husband in his multi-billion-dollar drug empire.
