El Chapo trial takes emotional turn as drug lord reduced to tears after seeing daughters for first time in four months
The atmosphere at the Brooklyn Federal Courthouse, in New York City seemed like a scene straight out of Netflix's 'Narcos' on Thursday as the trial of notorious drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman hit an emotional high note.
When he saw his seven-year-old twin daughters for the first time in four months at his drug trafficking trial, the infamous kingpin broke down in tears, the Daily Mail reports.
According to the report, El Chapo's wife, Emma Coronel Aispuro, walked through the doors of the Brooklyn Federal Courthouse with their two twin daughters for a surprise visit and the defendant got visibly emotional. “He was visibly crying, eyes bright red and dabbing at his eyes,” El Chapo's lawyer Eduardo Balarezo told the Daily News. “He last saw them in August.”
