LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Emma Coronel Aispuro (photos below) gave birth to twins. Beauty queen Emma Coronel Aispuro, la esposa de Joaquin Guzman Loera aka El Chapo or Shorty, visited Southern California in July, gave birth to El Chapo’s kids, and then returned to Mexico. Officials tell news that the whole process was completely legal.

For years, El Chapo has been at the top of Mexico’s most wanted list. But Shorty, as head of the Sinaloa cartel, made a unusual list in 2009: Forbes’ Rich List. As of the biggest suppliers of cocaine to the U.S. for two decades, El Chapo was named by Forbes as one of the richest persons in the world.

Forbes told news at the time “In 2008 Mexican and Colombian traffickers laundered between $18 billion and $39 billion in proceeds from wholesale shipments to the U.S. ” It added “Shorty, an alleged tunnels expert, is believed to have directed anywhere from a third to half of that during the past 8 years”.

Today, Los Angeles investigators reveal that El Chapo’s wife came to Lancaster in July, gave birth to twins, and returned to Mexico thereafter. They add her movement was legal since she is not a wanted person and has dual citizenships.

In 2001, Guzman escaped from a Mexican prison (in a laundry cart no less) just before extradition to the U.S. El Chapo changes his cellphone every day. Standing at 5 feet tall, El Chapo lists his occupation as “shipping”. In 2007, he married the now 22 year old beauty queen Emma Coronel Aispuro.

In January this year, posters around Acapulco featured El Chapo’s warning to law enforcement. “To all citizens, extortion will no longer occur. Sincerely, Shorty Guzman. This will happen to anyone who tries to come into this turf”. That week, fifteen beheaded males were found across the town. The victims were ages 25 to 30.
