Emma Coronel was one of the people who was present during the hearing in which the jury's verdict was released in the trial facing Joaquim El Chapo Guzmán, who was found guilty. After listening to the decision made by the members of the jury, the capo was calm and took a little moment to give his wife a show of affection.

After shaking hands with his team of lawyers and just before he was removed from the courtroom, El Chapo looked for the mother of his younger daughters and with a smile on his face sent him a warm greeting. The former beauty queen responded the gesture with a warm smile as she brought one of her hands to her heart, as reported by journalists who witnessed the verdict. The New York Times claimed that his eyes were watery.

Despite the fact that in the past, Colonel has had no problem answering questions from the press, this time Chapo's wife decided to remain silent and avoided giving statements about the decision made by the jury. "Very well," was the only thing she said before leaving court.

"We are disappointed with the jury's verdict … but we respect the process and its decision," Eduardo Balarezo, a member of the team of Mexican defense attorneys, reportedly said. "We had to face unprecedented obstacles to defend Joaquín," he added.

After the famous trial that the Mexican drug lord was facing in New York, a federal jury found the leader of the Sinaloa cartel guilty of the 10 charges that existed against him. The jury group reportedly took more than six days of deliberations before it delivered its verdict on one of the most media-related trials in recent years.

Some of the charges facing the Mexican drug trafficker included: participation in a company dedicated to crime; conspiracy to launder money from drug trafficking and international distribution of cocaine, heroin and marijuana.

After the end of the trial and the delivery of the verdict by the jury, the only thing that Guzmán Loera, 61, expects is the revelation of the sentence that he will have to face, which could be life imprisonment.

The empire of the feared Mexican kingpin led him to make his name a myth and one of the most recognized criminals in the entire world. Having twice escaped from high-security prisons, being named one of the wealthiest men by Forbes magazine, and his controversial recapture in 2016, which involved actors Kate del Catillo and Sean Penn, have made El Chapo a media figure. which has already inspired successful entertainment productions.
