El Chapo's wife ordered held without bail following international drug trafficking arrest
Fox News
The wife of notorious longtime drug kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán on Tuesday was ordered held without bond pending trial, one day after she was arrested at Dulles International Airport for alleged international drug trafficking.
Coronel Aispuro spoke only briefly – with a quick, "Si," and "No," when prompted by the judge during the hearing. She faces a charge of conspiracy to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin, five kilograms or more of cocaine, 1,000 kilograms or more of marijuana, and 500 grams or more of methamphetamines for unlawful importation into the U.S., the Justice Department said. She allegedly did so "knowing and intending that the substances would be unlawfully imported to the United States," prosecutor Anthony Nardozzi said. Nardozzi argued that Coronel Aispuro should stay behind bars because she has "worked closely with the command and control structure" of the Sinaloa cartel.More Related News
