Pregnant Lucero visits Chapo in prison
On of Chapo’s mistresses took the stand Thursday to testify as a cooperative witness.
She says that That February 17, 2014, when Joaquín “El Chapo ” Guzmán managed to escape minutes before the sailors raided the house where he lived in Culiacán.
Lucero Guadalupe Sánchez López, former congresswoman and the mother of his Chapo’s child, who fled from her side that day, detailed his escape in her testimony. The affair began in 2011 when Lucero was 21.
On the day of the bathtub tunnel escape, Lucero fled with Chapo from one safe house to another she had not been to before.
Around 4AM she was awaken by a loud thump and yelling as Mexican marines using a battering ram on the front door.
According to Sanchez’ testimony, Chapo was still in bed with her when his secretary burst into the room with an urgent message: The Navy had arrived to capture him.
Lucero was terrified. Chapo and his secretary El Condor are frantic. Chapo goes into the bathroom and calls for her—”‘Love, love, come in here” —Chapo, naked, ran to the bathroom, where he lifted the lid of the bathtub to show a staircase leading to a tunnel, where he disappeared with his companion, one of his workers and a cleaning lady before the sailors crashed through the steel door.
They were still naked as they escape through the filthy sewer tunnel. It was hot and humid inside. Lucero could feel the filthy water running up her legs. Sanchez said she was traumatized and estimated being inside the sewer for more than an hour.
Sanchez narrated this episode a part of her story of their relationship that only ended when she attempted to cross into the U.S. and was arrested. During this time, she was both his lover and his criminal accomplice, buying kilos of marijuana for him, organizing his companies that worked as a screen and even attending to his personal needs.
Sanchez was arrested in 2017 while trying to cross the border into the United States. In 2018 she pleaded guilty to drug trafficking, cut a plea deal and is awaiting sentencing.
The “narco-diputada”, she was a congresswoman or deputy as referred to in Mexico, for 3 years. supposedly started in the business for “love”, as Chapo, sent her to the area of the Golden Triangle, in the mountains of Durango, to buy marijuana for him, since she had lived in that region and was equipped with facilities to do so.
Chapo’s work order to Sanchez was to send him “3B” quality drugs, “good beautiful and cheap”.
However, he testified, disobeyed the order and began sending marijuana that contained seed, which is poor quality.
“I wanted him to be upset with me and send for me, but he didn’t,” he said.
The situation with Chapo, the mistress and the “wife” all in the same courtroom was awkward at best.Sanchez appeared nervous with a prominent facial tick, Chapo did not look at her, and Emma stared straight ahead while looking for those split ends.
At one-point Sanchez began cryingwhile still on break, Judge Cogan extended break for another five minutes so that she could composed herself.
Sanchez will resume testimony when court resumes on Tuesday
