In the Telmundo promos, Emma Coronel Aispuro, current “wife” of the Sinaloa cartel boss, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, looks  differently than her former self.   Telemundo is airing an exclusive interview with the former beauty queen tomorrow night at 7PM.

Emma Coronel was 18 years old when she married El Chapo. However, when he has been arrested, Chapo has never named any other woman, other  than his first wife, Maria Alenjandria Salazar, as the woman he is legally married to.

Telemundo promises that in the interview, Emma Coronel describes Chapo the husband and father, and about his private life, such as the details of their wedding, and Chapo’s relationship with their twin daughters. Coronel will talk about life with Chapo, the arrest, and the true relationship with actress Kate Castillo.

She is doing the interview because of her deep concern of the well being of her husband, due to his treatment and prison conditions.

She says she fears for his life, she explains she is not allowed to see him to assess his condition.  She says while Chapo is at Altiplano the Mexican government responsible for the health of her husband, while awaiting possible extradition to the United States.

Coronel  also stresses the tortuous conditions in which he is forced to live.  She claims guards are with him all day, even when he uses the bathroom, that he has no privacy.  And that he is not allowed to sleep.  She says,  that "everything that is said is not true ... .and I think that any human being has the right to have at least the vital things of life, and not what they are subjecting him to."

“They want to make him pay for his escape. They say that they are not punishing him. But of course they are.”

As for the first time they met.  It was at a dance, she claims not to know who he was, she was dancing with her boyfriend, and Chapo was there with someone.  Someone told her that there was a person who wanted to dance with her.  She said yes, because at Rancho dances everyone dances with one another.

In a letter written to Telemundo she writes:

(from) Emma Coronel Aispuro: 

“ I, the current partner of Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman, reveals that Mr. Joaquín Guzmán is in seriously poor health, this because since coming to Cefereso del Altiplano en Almoloya de Juárez (Prison) for over a month now, he has not been able to sleep because of the constant are roll call, seemingly every hour.

And in the course of coming back from every roll call, the people who guard do not stop talking and making noise and because of this situation, cannot sleep day or night.

So, he has encounter high blood pressure, Joaquín had never before, suffered from high blood pressure, or have a family history of this disease. 

lawyers have processed several amparos (injunctions)  and none have been complied with by the corresponding authorities. 

Today,  February 15 this year, I was authorized by the court to attend an informal hearing for Joaquín.   Arriving at the prison, the officers did not let me into saying that they were following orders from their superiors 

I, like any woman, free of charges and with all my rights, am concerned about the health of my husband and father of my daughters, I make public this delicate situation, because Joaquin is suffering. And I reiterate that I hold authorities responsible for him in this situation, what will happen to his life,  because as any human being he has rights, I reiterate, that he has not yet been sentenced, neither in this, or in any other country. "
