Emma Coronel Aispuro, 31, was apprehended at Dulles International Airport and is facing charges 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 country, according to a new release from the Justice Department.
She is expected to make her initial appearance Tuesday in US District Court in Washington, DC, via video conference.
Guzman was convicted after a jury trial in 2019, and sentenced to life plus 30 years in a federal prison.
Jeffrey Lichtman and Mariel Colon told CNN they are representing Coronel.
“We’re just trying to get the full scope of the government allegations at this time,” said Colon.
Lichtman told CNN he had no comment.
