In addition, the months that she spent in detention since February 2021 awaiting trial were taken into account. Jeffrey Lichtman, Coronel's attorney, had said after the sentencing that his client -- with good behavior -- could be released from prison in 18 months.“I want to show my regret for any harm I have caused. I ask that all the people of this country forgive me,” Coronel said during the sentencing hearing in a District of Columbia court. “I know that it may be difficult to ignore the fact that I am Joaquín Guzmán's wife, perhaps that is why you feel the obligation to be harsher with me, but I beg you not to do it. Today, the suffering that I have caused my family hurts me a lot,” said Coronel, speaking directly to Judge Rudolph Contreras, minutes before hearing his sentence. after being arrested in February of that year at Dulles International Airport in Virginia and was later accused of helping her husband run a multimillion-dollar drug trafficking empire. The Mexican, who also has U.S. citizenship, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to traffic cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin and marijuana, money laundering and participation in property transactions belonging to a drug trafficker. Her arrest came as a surprise in part because authorities had done nothing to arrest her in the past two years, even after she became implicated in crimes committed by her husband.

The drug trafficker's wife was seen at the hearings of that trial and even gave interviews to the press. Coronel served part of her sentence in Virginia and was later transferred to a federal prison in Texas.
