Miami –February 19, 2016- Telemundo News will present the first-ever interview by Emma Coronel Aispuro, the current wife of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel boss Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.  Granted to the Mexican journalist Anabel Hernández, the exclusive interview will air as a news special titled “La Reina De El Chapo” (The Queen of El Chapo) on Sunday, February 21, from 7-8pm/6-8pm CT. In this controversial interview, Mrs. Coronel claims that “El Chapo’s” health is suffering greatly due to the treatment at the Altiplano prison and makes the Mexican government responsible for her husband’s health and well-being, while the US government is fighting for his extradition. Mrs. Coronel also provides insight into the character and private life of El Chapo by revealing when and where they got married, what life was like as the wife of the most wanted fugitive in the world, and what his relationship to his twin daughters is like.

In this extremely personal interview, produced in association with the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley (IRP), Mrs. Coronel also talks at length about her life with “El Chapo”, his family, the circumstances of his detention, his relationship with Mexican Super Star Kate del Castillo and his current situation at jail.

Next, some claims made by Mrs. Coronel in this revealing interview:

ü  “…I am afraid for his life (El Chapo’s). We don’t know if he is eating well. We don’t know what his situation is because we haven’t seen him.”

ü  “They want to make him pay for his escape. They say that they are not punishing him. Of course they are. They are there with him, watching him in his cell. They are right there, all day long, calling attendance. They don’t let me sleep. He has no privacy, not even to go to the restroom.”

ü  “Not everything people say is true… I think that all human beings have the right to have at least the basic things for life handy. They are not giving that to him.”
