To pass the security checkpoint at New Yorkâs federal court, you have to take off your stilettos. Emma Coronel, the wife of JoaquÃn âEl Chapoâ Guzmán Loera, the most powerful drug trafficker in the world, drew the attention of the worldâs tabloid press over the course of the 11-week trial that ended with a life sentence for her husband in 2019. Her stylish appearance during the court hearings saw her dubbed âthe Kardashian of Sinaloa,â in reference to the reality TV stars the Kardashians and the name of her husbandâs narcotics cartel.
