This came after \u201dEl Chapo\u201d was convicted to life plus 30 years for 10 charges related to his drug trafficking operation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is very happy to put this behind her\u2026she is at ease with her decision,\u201d stated Jeffrey Lichtman, Aispuro\u2019s attorney. \u201cThis is obviously a difficult day\u2026she didn\u2019t expect to get arrested after her husband received life in prison, so this is obviously a troubling time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s unclear why she accepted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/20805686-emma-coronel-statement-of-facts\">a plead agreement<\/a> with the U.S. government, some speculate she may face a lower sentence in federal prison by doing so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was a very minimal participant in this as noted in the plea agreement, minimal participant,\u201d Lichtman continued. \u201cShe was a very small part of this much larger thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2420880\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2420880\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2420880 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AP21161624974640.jpg\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/20805686-emma-coronel-statement-of-facts\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AP21161624974640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AP21161624974640-315x210.jpg 315w, https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AP21161624974640-655x437.jpg 655w, https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AP21161624974640-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  style=\"display:none\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2420880\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeffrey Lichtman, an attorney for the wife of Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin \u201cEl Chapo\u201d, Emma Coronel Aispuro, talks to reporters outside federal court Washington, Thursday, June 10, 2021.

Under U.S. sentencing guidelines, however, she will likely receive between nine and 11 years.<\/p>\n<p>Her plea agreement will not require her to cooperate with U.S. authorities or provide information regarding her husband\u2019s allies, relatives or business partners. Meanwhile, her husband is locked up in a federal supermax prison in Florence, Colorado where he is sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/eu-joins-calls-for-new-probe-into-origins-of-covid-19\/\">EU Joins Calls For New Probe Into Origins Of COVID-19<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mariel Colon, an attorney for the wife of Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin \u201cEl Chapo\u201d, Emma Coronel Aispuro, walks past reporters outside federal court Washington, Thursday, June 10, 2021.
