NEW: The wife of 'El Chapo,' one of the world's most powerful drug lords, has agreed to plead guilty to helping him run his Mexican cartel, according to court documents.
Federal prosecutors said his wife relayed messages from El Chapo to other leaders of his Sinaloa cartel while he was on the run to avoid capture by Mexican police. She continued to act as a go-between while he was in Mexican prisons and aided his two successful escapes, the U.S. charging documents said.
A former beauty queen, Aispuro was introduced to El Chapo when she was 17 and married him on her 18th birthday when he was 49. Her father, U.S. authorities said, was part of the Sinaloa cartel and was later sentenced to prison for drug and firearms trafficking."I think it's what any wife would do in my place, be with her husband in difficult times." She said she wanted to be there"in one way or another so that he feels and sees me present, and feels my support.
