Jan. 23 (UPI) — A former Sinaloa Cartel lieutenant on Wednesday implicated Joaquin » El Chapo » Guzman’s wife, sons and brother-in-law in the accused Mexican drug lord’s second escape from prison.
Damaso Lopez Nunñez, a high-ranking member in the cartel allegedly led by Guzman, testified that Guzman’s wife, Emma Coronel Aispuro, relayed orders from her husband as he plotted his escape from Altiplano prison in 2015.
Lopez described meetings between 2014 and 2015 when Coronel instructed the cartel members to build a tunnel out of the prison leading to a plot of land that was to be purchased by Guzman’s four adult sons.
