Emma Coronel, a former beauty queen and mother
of Guzman's twin girls, attended nearly every day of his 11-week
trial in New York, drawing attention for her elegant dress
sense. In July, a federal judge sent the kingpin to prison for
life.
In a video clip promoting the show, Coronel, 30, appears on the
bow of a luxury yacht in a lacy white blouse and sunglasses,
next to a table laid with flutes of Champagne. A man in dark
clothing, who appears to be a bodyguard, stands nearby.
VH1 says "Cartel Crew" aims to offer an insider's look into how
sons and daughters of cartel members are wrestling with their
family histories.
"This docuseries follows their journeys as they set out to live
legit lives and make names for themselves outside of the drug
world," the show's website says.
Guzman's name carries heavy weight for Coronel.
Before his final capture in 2016 and extradition to the United
States a year later, Guzman was the world's most infamous drug
trafficker, shipping tonnes of drugs around the world and twice
breaking out of maximum security prisons in Mexico.
Coronel was watching in February when a jury in a federal court
in Brooklyn found the boss of the Sinaloa Cartel guilty of drug
smuggling and various other criminal charges.
Coronel has not been charged with any crimes.
However, a witness at the gang leader's trial testified that
Coronel played an important role in plotting Guzman's 2015
escape from a Mexican prison and tried to help him break out
again after he was recaptured the following January.
