A US federal judge has sentenced Emma Coronel Aispuro, the wife of Mexican drug lord Joaquin Guzman, better known as El Chapo, to three years in prison for her role in helping the Sinaloa drug cartel.

The sentence is less than the four years sought by prosecutors, and Judge Rudolf Contreras said she was a young teenager when she married the drug kingpin and cooperated after her arrest in February 2021.

She admitted that she helped her husband manage his multi-billion dollar criminal empire.

Emma Coronel Aispuro was arrested in February.

The Mexican drug lord, "El Chapo", was found guilty of running a murderous criminal organization that smuggled tons of drugs into the United States of America (USA), for which he was sentenced to life in prison in 2019.
