El Chapo's Brother-in-Law Is Granted an Amparo by Federal Judge

"HEARST" for Borderland Beat

There are no confirmed photos of Inés Omar
so pictured is El Chapo, Emma Coronel and Inés Coronel Barrera.
For years, courts have repeatedly denied Inés Omar Coronel Aispuro, the brother-in-law of El Chapo, the right to an early prison release due to a lack of “good conduct” based on a record of disciplinary issues. However a judge just granted an amparo to him which may allow him to be released from prison. 

Inés Omar Coronel Aispuro is the brother of Emma Coronel, who is the current wife of Sinaloa Cartel's former leader Joaquín Guzmán alias El Chapo. 


For some background, Inés Omar Coronel Aispuro and his father Inés Coronel Barrera were captured in Agua Prieta, Sonora on April 30 2013. At the time of their arrest they were found to be in possession of a rifle-type firearm. They were also found to be transporting 20 rectangular packages with marijuana inside of their vehicle. For further reading on their arrest, please see this Borderland Beat article


Inés Omar Coronel Aispuro, henceforth called Omar Coronel to prevent confusion with his father, was brought up on charges of carrying firearms for the exclusive use of the Armed Forces and drug charges at the level of commercial purposes. Despite being arrested in 2013, Omar Coronel was not officially sentenced for those two charges until January 24, 2019. 


In 2019, he was sentenced to serve 9 years in prison, with time served, which means the time he has already served since his 2013 detention counted towards those 9 years. This gave him an expected release date in the year 2022. He is currently imprisoned in Federal Center for Social Readaptation (CERESO) Number 13 in the state of Oaxaca. 


It is relatively common for inmates to request a release prior to the release date given during sentencing. However, inmates requesting an early release will commonly be dismissed if their prison record does not demonstrate good conduct. The most common way in which a judge is believed to determine “good conduct” is by seeing a lack of disciplinary actions on an inmate’s prison record. 


In this regard, Omar Coronel has not fared well. In February 2020, he requested an early release and he was denied. Court documents from his request revealed that his prison record showed multiple disciplinary actions. These disciplinary actions were primarily for offenses related to the possession of sharp instruments and “willful misconduct that affects the operation or provision of supplies of the prison”. 


In December 2020, Omar appealed the court’s denial however the court upheld the previous decision and denied his early release again. 


Then in February 2021, Omar requested a new hearing for early release and he was yet again denied. In response to this, Omar Coronel filed an injunction. 


Just recently Judge José Alfonso Montalvo Martínez, head of the First Unitary Court in Criminal Matters, chose to grant Omar Coronel an amparo based on his injunction. 


An amparo is a very powerful provision with unique precedents within Mexican law. It aims to protect the individual citizen and their basic rights while also protecting the Mexican constitution itself by ensuring that the constitution’s core principles are not violated by the actions of the state. In the most practical sense though, an amparo provides for a constitutional review by a Federal Court at any stage of a case, even in early investigation as to whether a citizen’s rights are being violated by the state. 


With this amparo, Judge Montalvo Martínez has ordered the Third Unitary Court to annul its resolution on the case and analyze the legality of the ruling regarding the requirement of good conduct. 


Judge Montalvo Martínez writes “It is important to establish that disciplinary corrections should not be the determining factor to qualify the category of 'good behavior' for the purposes of granting or not the pre-release benefits, but that this aspect should be analyzed in an integral way with the others elements of which data on their reintegration are noted.”


Of note, Emma and Omar’s father Inés Coronel Barrera along with Omar himself have already gone through a long legal battle over an amparo based on claims of torture at the hands of federal agents. This legal battle was a major contributing factor to the delay between Omar’s 2013 arrest and 2019 sentencing. Omar and Emma have a brother named Edgar who is also imprisoned, on charges of weapon and drug possession.  For a brief overview of the Inés Omar Coronel Aispuro's family, see below.

    1. She is. Chapo is distantly related to the Arellanos who are, in turn, related to Miguel Felix Gallardo. La Barbie is distantly related to Chapo by way of a long deceased ancestor (I think died in the 1970s), allegedly. In Mexico it seems everyone is related and can be traced to ten large families.

    2. SHe not related to him they have the same Last name and both are from Durango ..

    3. It has always been debated. Los Angeles Times says he is her uncle. Emma herself says Nacho is not her uncle. But at the very least Nacho and Ines are closely related, if not half-brothers/brothers.

    4. 6:38. Chapo is not related to arellanos. Gallardo isn’t either, that’s a rumor. And who the hell said Barbie is related to Chapo. His family is from a border city, his parents then moved to Texas. There not even close to Sinaloa. Stop believing all this crap.

    5. HEARST many last names are very regional and can be quickly identified to be from a particular state but that doesn't mean all people with the same last names are related and most definitely Nacho isn't a half brother of Ines

      Delete
    6. Well if her dad and nacho are half-brothers/brothers then that makes her related to him.

    7. @12:35 AM Thank you for letting me know. Appreciated.

      Damn. I found 4 news sites that claimed he was Emma's uncle, including the LA times and El Pais. I didn't make the connection without what I thought was verified information but the more I read, the more I am not seeing a definite answer to if they are related. This is my fault. I will revise the article and edit the family tree.

    8. I mean, who the hell knows anyways? Sources say they are related so I would go by that @HEARST.

      From a genealogy standpoint (them being from Canelas and sharing the same last name), they are related. Perhaps not directly, but ancestrally yes.

      What sources claim they are NOT related? Seems like just the comments here.

    9. 10:47 Chapo is related to the Arellanos and the Arellanos ARE related to Felix Gallardo. Among themselves they try to down play it, do your research.

    10. @8:53 AM
      Another source claiming they aren't related is Emma herself, in an interview. And I want to very careful with any claims made about a living person. I hope you can understand why.

    12. 10:47 La Barbie's grampa, rodolfo "El Gitano" Valdez murdered the general rodolfo tostado loaiza, governor of Sinaloa on orders of another general who became governor, persecuted for it by General Lazaro Cardenas who forgave him when he found about the general who ordered the job, el gitano was a gunman for the landowners in Sinaloa, went to work as a gunman for PEMEX, some accuse him of murdering hugo izquierdo ebrard, brother of the mar who sold rancho Camino Real to RCQ and Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo for felix ismael rodriguez mendigutia to run his operation Iran/Contra gun running drug trafficking and money laundering
      Some deny relationships, but who knows? I always knew Nacho Coronel was Ines brother, ines does not want to get murdered for it.

  3. Too bad Emma coronel is in US custody because she turned herself inn.
    I'm guessing she will SNITCH on her FAMILY for a light sentence and be in protected custody with her twins..
    So this amparo might not sit well when the SNITCHING begins..

    5. 6:13 I read the article of Florida. It was an ambush shooting, camera captured the 3 shooters, male Blacks thin build, SUV was stolen, it was a rapper party. How did you expect gun owners to shoot back, if it was an ambush.

    1. Yup in early 2010. The rumor was a burning tire was placed on his upper torso/neck/head. If I remember correctly he was picked up from PV or nearby. He was very young, the youngest son of the first wife? This haunted and was very painful for ICV and all the people that were with El Pepino, BLO plaza boss of southern Nayarit, were picked up, killed and burned as he was accused of the act. I believe this event was also the reason HBL wife was picked up in Sonora but ultimately released and started some kind of disagreement within CDS.
