translated from Spanish: Who is Emma Coronel, the spouse of the Chapo

when Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman enters the Hall of the Court where he is tried, his gaze is almost always directed toward the area of the public.
The man who faces one of the biggest trials for drug trafficking in the history of the United States seems not to miss any opportunity to say hello to Emma Coronel Aispuro, his young spouse of 29 years.
“It is every day in the judgment Hall, from the beginning until the end of the day,” says the journalist Gerardo Lissardy, who has followed the trial from the Court for BBC world.
“When El Chapo, first thing usually do is greet it in the distance, sometimes with your hand and others with a gesture. And she has paid him greeting sometimes. Even during the course of the trial, in the midst of some testimony, Guzman searched it looking from the seat of the accused”, he says.
The defense of El Chapo had requested the judge a desire for his client, who was denied: to give a hug to your spouse in the first day of trial.
Iceguzman was extradited from Mexico to the USA in January of 2017, where it faces a trial that could lead to imprisonment.
Colonel met Guzman when just he was 17 years old.
Researchers from the Mexican, as journalist and writer Jose Reveles drug trafficking, agree that Colonel is “love of life” from the hood of 61 years.
“It is a very beautiful woman, does not yet even thirty years, has been loyal to him,” said Reveles to BBC world.
A relationship that has lasted for more than one decade, while Guzman has lived those years being a fugitive of Justice and jailed 4 years both in Mexico as U.S.
The origins of Emma Coronel Coronel is 29 years old, was born in Santa Clara, California, but grew up in the settlement of La Angostura, a place with just a few tens of inhabitants in the region called “the golden triangle” of drug trafficking.
“There is not nothing extravagant things, things that are in the city that are so stressful. It is a very quiet life,”Colonel told the journalist Anabel Hernández in an interview published in the weekly Proceso in 2016.

At the age of 17, Colonel was in a celebration in the vicinity of La Angostura when she saw for the first time to Joaquín Guzmán, as told to Hernandez.
“I say what I conquered it was their talk, their way to treat me… took me great gifts or great things, that wins people by his way of being,” he said after being questioned about the age difference.
They were married by the Church the day that Colonel reached the age of majority, on his 18 birthday, on July 2, 2007. They did a party only with close family, reported.

Marriage with one of the most powerful leaders of drug trafficking in Mexico took its relationship with Su Guzman in Culiacan, Sinaloa, one of the bastions of the sign that your spouse allegedly headed for two decades.
He studied journalism at the Autonomous University of Sinaloa, a time that Colonel defines as “quite normal”.

“I can say that we have had very good relationship, we have always led us very well. He is a man very attentive, very affectionate, very respectful, very glad, that makes that problems will forget you. When you see him and know that he has many problems, it is as if nothing”.
Incommunicado Colonel has not been able to live with Guzman since he was extradited to the United States in January of last year.
In contrast to what the authorities allowed him in prison in Mexico, in the latter country applied a strict isolation to the kingpin who escaped twice from Mexican maximum security prisons.
Judge Brian Cogan rejected his request to have a few seconds to embrace his wife precisely for safety reasons.
