Beauty queen wife voices concerns for 'El Chapo' health

The young wife of accused Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman on Tuesday spoke publicly for the first time since her husband was extradited to the United States last year, voicing concern for his health in solitary confinement. Emma Coronel, a 28-year-old former beauty queen and mother of the couple's twin girls, complained after his latest pre-trial hearing in a Brooklyn federal court about being barred from visiting her husband in jail or talking to him by telephone. Guzman, 61, accused of running the Sinaloa crime syndicate, one of the world's biggest drug empires, is scheduled to go on trial on September 5.
