«Breaking News» El Chapo's wife says drug kingpin is 'excellent'...

Accused Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman is an 'excellent father, friend, brother, son and partner,' his young wife said as his landmark trial in New York wound up.

'Everything that has been said in court about Joaquin, the good and the bad, has done nothing to change how I think about him after years of knowing him,' Emma Coronel, 29, said in a message on her Instagram account late Thursday.

In his almost three-month-long trial, Guzman, the 69-year-old former head of the Sinaloa drugs cartel known widely as El Chapo, or Shorty, was accused of smuggling hundreds of tons of drugs into the United States over the past quarter-century.

On Monday, the jury starts deliberating on its verdict. 

If convicted, Guzman is likely to spend the rest of his life in a US jail, having twice escaped from Mexican prisons before being extradited to the United States two years ago.

During the trial, which closed Thursday, Guzman's former henchmen and colleagues said he had ordered the deaths of dozens of rivals, underlings suspected of being snitches and police officers who refused to take his bribes.

Part of the evidence presented by US prosecutors indicates that Coronel was at the very least an accomplice in Guzman's escape from Mexico's Altiplano prison in 2015.

She has not however been charged with any crime and showed up almost every day in court to be with her husband.

A former right-hand man of the drugs lord said that when Guzman was jailed between 2014 and 2015, he used Coronel's prison visits to pass messages to accomplices planning his escape via a mile long tunnel from the shower stall of his cell.

THE CHARGES EL CHAPO'S JURY WILL DELIBERATE

Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman was charged with 10 criminal counts, including:

Drug trafficking 

Most of the counts in the indictment allege that Guzman trafficked more than 40 tons of cocaine, marijuana and heroin internationally and domestically.  

Criminal enterprise  

He is accused of leading a continuing criminal enterprise responsible for importing into the United States and distributing massive amounts of illegal narcotics between January 1989 and December 2014.

Money laundering

His money laundering charges relate to the bulk smuggling from the United States to Mexico of more than $14 billion in cash proceeds from narcotics sales throughout the United States and Canada.

Weapons offenses

He is also charged with using firearms in relation to his drug trafficking.

During the trial the prosecution played a recording of a phone call between Coronel and Guzman, in which she passed the telephone to her father. 

Guzman then informed his father-in-law about an illicit drugs shipment into the US.

'My name was often mentioned and called into question,' admitted Coronel, a tall Mexican-American woman with long dark hair, with whom Guzman has two daughters.

'I can only say that I have done nothing to be ashamed of. I am not perfect, but I consider myself a good human being who never intentionally hurt anyone,' she said.

The US authorities do not allow visits or phone calls between Guzman and his wife. They also forbade the couple from briefly hugging each other in court during the trial.

Coronel gave an 11th hour interview earlier this week where she painted El Chapo as a loving father and doting husband as he prepares to spend the rest of his life locked up in an American prison. 

In her interview and accompanying photo-shoot with The New York Times, his wife, Coronel says he is nothing like the man prosecutors have painted him to be. 

'I don't know my husband as the person they are trying to show him as. But rather I admire him as the human being that I met, and the one that I married,' she said in Spanish.

Coronel, who has attended every day of the proceedings, spoke about the couple's fiercely protected twin daughters - Emali and Maria Joaquina - and how Guzman, 61, adores them.

Coronel, shown outside court on Wednesday, has attended every day of his trial 

'He always was a father very present to the attention of our daughters. 

'They are the adoration of their father and he is the adoration of them,' she said. 

She and Guzman married when she was 18 in a 'simple ceremony'. They had met a year earlier, when she was underage and he was on the after pulling off his first of two prison escapes. 

He was in his 40s at the time but the age difference did nothing to stop them becoming close. 

Coronel described the start of their relationship as a 'lovely friendship'. 

'With the passing of months we became girlfriend and boyfriend. And when I turned 18 years old, we married in a very simple ceremony with family and only close friends,' she said. She gave birth to the girls in her early 20s. 

Coronel, a beauty queen, was born in California but raised in Mexico. She described her own family as 'unified' and spoke gushingly about her siblings. 

Over the last three months, she has been in Brooklyn while her daughters are cared for in Mexico. 

The girls have been the only visitors permitted to see their father in the undisclosed location where he has been held since he left the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan at the start of the trial. 

They had not lived as a family for years beforehand. El Chapo broke out of prison - allegedly with his wife's help - for a second time in 2015. 

He hid out in the Sinaloa mountains until he was finally arrested in 2016. 

Coronel said of their prolonged separation: 'I don't consider myself a single mother. 

'More so, a mother who in this moment doesn't have the support of her husband, but trusts that the family will be well.

'Obviously, our life changed.' 

She has spent her time in New York keeping a low profile and going to bed early most nights, she said. 

Asked if she liked the nightlife in Manhattan, she said: 'I prefer to sleep'.  She was heard 'rejoicing' at the end of one week because it was Friday which meant she could sleep in the following day and not have to wake up early to go to court.   

COLORFUL TALES FROM EL CHAPO

Here are some of the most colorful tales from recent weeks in the courtroom:

HIS OWN WORDS

* Guzman's voice was 'sing-songy' with a 'nasally undertone,' said FBI agent Steven Marston. In one recorded call, Guzman tells an associate, 'Don't be so harsh... take it easy with the police.' The partner responds: 'You taught us to be a wolf.'

* Text messages between Guzman and his wife, Emma Coronel, often turned to family matters. 'Our Kiki is fearless,' Guzman wrote in one, referring to one of their daughters. 'I'm going to give her an AK-47 so she can hang with me.'

* After Coronel said she saw a suspicious car, Guzman wrote to her, 'You go ahead and lead a normal life. That's it.' Later he reminds her: 'Make sure you delete everything after we're done chatting.'

* In one of the trial's final days, Guzman told the judge he would not testify in his own defense. The same day, he grinned broadly at audience member Alejandro Edda, the Mexican actor who plays Guzman in the Netflix television drama 'Narcos.' 

LOVERS AND BUSINESS

* Multiple 'wives' visited Guzman when he was hiding in Sinaloa, said Alex Cifuentes, a former close partner.

* Lucero Sanchez Lopez, a former Mexican lawmaker, told jurors she once had a romantic relationship with Guzman, who sent her to buy and ship marijuana. 'I didn't want for him to mistrust me because I thought he could also hurt me,' she said. 'I was confused about my own feelings over him. Sometimes I loved him and sometimes I didn't.'

* Agustina Cabanillas, a partner of Guzman who called him 'love,' set up drug deals by passing information between Guzman and others. In one message, Cabinillas called Guzman a 'jerk' who was trying to spy on her. 'Guess what? I'm smarter than him,' she wrote. HIGH LEVELS OF CORRUPTION

* Guzman's Sinaloa Cartel paid bribes, some in the millions of dollars, to Mexican officials at every level, said Jesus Zambada, the brother of Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, who worked alongside El Chapo and is still at large.

* Beneficiaries included a high-ranking police official who fed Guzman information on police activities 'every day,' said Miguel Angel Martinez, a former cartel manager.

* Guzman once paid $100 million to former President Enrique Pena Nieto, Cifuentes said. Pena Nieto has denied taking any bribes.

* When imprisoned in Mexico in 2016, Guzman bribed a national prison official $2 million to be transferred to a different facility, but the move was unsuccessful. 

MURDER

* After a rival cartel member declined to shake Guzman's hand, he ordered the man killed, fueling a war between the cartels, Zambada said.

* When assassins reporting to Guzman killed a police official who worked for a rival, Zambada said, they lured him out of his house by pretending they had hit his son with a car.

* Guzman ordered Cifuentes to kill the cartel's communications expert after learning he was cooperating with the FBI. But Cifuentes said he was unable to carry out the hit because he did not know the man's last name.

* When Damazo Lopez Nunez, a top lieutenant to Guzman, told his boss that a Mexican mayor wanted them to 'remove' a troublesome police officer, Guzman told him they should do her the favor because the mayor was a favorite for an upcoming state election, Lopez testified. He said Guzman told him to make the killing look like revenge from a gang member.

* Lopez also said Guzman's sons killed a prominent reporter in Sinaloa because he published an article about cartel infighting against their wishes.

* One of Guzman's former bodyguards, Isaias Valdez Rios, said he watched his boss personally kill three rival cartel members. Guzman shot one of them and ordered his underlings to bury the man while he was gasping for air. On another occasion, Guzman tortured two men for hours before shooting them each in the head and ordering their bodies tossed into a flaming pit.

SAFE HOUSES AND ESCAPES

* For a period of Guzman's time as a fugitive in Sinaloa, in northern Mexico, his posse lived in 'humble pine huts' with tinted windows, satellite televisions and washer-dryers, Cifuentes said. About 50 guards formed three rings around the homes to keep watch.

* Guzman escaped into a tunnel hidden beneath a bathtub when U.S. agents raided one of his homes in 2014, said Sanchez, his lover. She followed Guzman, who was completely naked, into the passage, feeling water trickle down her legs. 'It was very dark and I was very scared,' she said.

* Guzman's wife helped her husband tunnel out of a Mexican prison in 2015 by passing messages to his associates, Lopez testified. She unsuccessfully tried to help him duplicate the escape when he was captured the next year.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
