She also misses it.

At least that is what follows from the photo that Emma Coronel, wife of Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán, posted on Instagram on Sunday.

"I dream of a hug from you," he wrote below the image taken by the side of a swimming pool, in what looks like a hotel, enjoying a soft drink dressed in black sportswear.

With that phrase, Coronel alluded to the request of the head of the Sinaloa cartel to federal judge Brian Cogan to let him hug his wife if he saw her in the federal court room in Brooklyn, New York, in which since tomorrow he was celebrates his trial.

Cogan showed some sympathy for the request, in which "humanitarian" reasons were cited, but ended up denying it for security reasons.

Since his arrival in the United States in January 2017, El Chapo has been surrounded by extraordinary security measures to prevent him from repeating his already famous Mexican prison breaks.

His solitary confinement and lack of contact with other human beings, defense attorneys alleged on one occasion, have come to affect the boss's mental health.

One of the great unknowns of the trial that begins on Tuesday with the opening of arguments of the prosecution and the defense is whether Colonel, who on previous occasions has attended hearings before the judge in which her husband appeared, will appear..

The federal prosecution accuses Guzmán of leading a complex criminal organization based in Sinaloa that for three decades and through brutal methods - including thousands of murders - managed to enter the United States drug shipments valued at $ 14,000 million.

From this presumed criminal activity derive the 17 charges for drug trafficking, criminal organization and bribery that are imputed to him, of which if found guilty he could be sentenced to life in prison.
