"MX" for Borderland Beat
Emma Coronel Aispuro, the wife of Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, does not have access to the Mexican financial system since 2015.
That year, the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) blocked her personal bank accounts, of her known relatives, and companies under her name when they detected that they had ties to the Sinaloa Cartel's laundering network. Coronel has been living in cash for over 5 years.
The head of the UIF, Santiago Nieto, confirmed to reporters this week that Coronel has not been permitted in the financial system since then. The UIF clarified that they have not issued any formal charges against her but did confirm that there are investigations underway.
These anti-money laundering actions are part of an initiative from the UIF to combat drug cartel financials. The UIF believes that such actions will disrupt the operations of the Sinaloa Cartel and limit its ability to pay its members and bribe government officials.
In 2019, the UIF froze nearly MXN$1 billion (US$41 million) in assets from various drug cartels in Mexico. At least 330 bank accounts owned or controlled by the Sinaloa Cartel were frozen last year. Many of them were owned by Coronel.

Wow I guess witness protection her only option. Chapitos not taking care of her. Money ran dry
ReplyDeleteNowhere does it state money ran dry.
DeleteShe had no money. Chapo wasnt a billionaire
DeletePretty sure that big excavation hole in her backyard is being utilized. Thank your neighborhood police for their tireless efforts of finding buried treasures.
ReplyDeleteQuit makin fun of her bootie
DeleteThat's a good one 8:52!!
DeleteChapitos gave up their dad! You just dont want to believe it.
ReplyDeleteShe's gonna tell whatever she knows on her step-sons.
ReplyDeleteGlad your back!
ReplyDelete6 years living on hand outs from her step sons. I guess she got tired of it and looked for a viable way out. So now she turns herself in and will tell everything she knows about them. Seems to me she tries to play the victim she turned herself in but at first it was made to look like she was spontaneously arrested. Even her lawyer was fuming mad that it was leaked there might be a "deal" already in place. Thing is where are the twins. She is not a blood relative to chapos sons so the important question will be if she rats on them what will the retaliation be. Will her family be killed? Will she ever see her daughters again? Shit wasnt planned out to good. Po re pendeja
ReplyDeleteU must not know who her fam is , they are the coronel clan, her pops was a big figure and her whole fam is in the biz so im more than positive she wasnt living out handouts , the question is what was set on the table as the deal or how long has this deal been in place
Delete5:51 There is an article titled "The End of the Coronel Clan". They are not a thing anymore.
DeleteWrong coróneles @5:51 yes her father and brother and other family were working with Chapo’s but she has no relation to nacho and his cell which is what the referenced article was about
DeleteChapo snitched
ReplyDeleteI know exactly who they are ,she is nachos niece. her dad had his position cemented when chapo married his daughter. He dad wasnt that big before they married... He was a player but there were alot more bigger than him. Sometimes appearances can be deceiving. Point is something made her want to get out enough to risk pretty much everything. Will be interesting in seeing how all this plays out. There might be more surprises that come out.
ReplyDeleteWell damn. Has her accounts been from in the US too under the Kingpin Act? Maybe she doesn’t have any in the Us. Not sure
ReplyDelete41 millions isn’t even 10% of the total sum of income some of these organizations are making a year.. pitiful.
