Former deputy linked to Chapo reveals new details of her relationship with the drug trafficker
Lucero Sánchez López, known as the “Chapodiputada”, shared new details about the relationship she had with the drug trafficker
Lucero Sánchez López, known publicly as the “Chapodiputada”, reappeared in an interview with journalist Adela Micha to share new details about the romantic relationship she had with Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.
The former Sinaloa representative recalled how she met the drug trafficker, the episodes of violence she experienced at his side and some moments related to the escapes carried out by the boss.
Sánchez said that he met Guzmán when he worked as a stylist in a community in the region known as the Golden Triangle, between Durango, Sinaloa and Chihuahua.
According to what he said, he arrived at the place without knowing who the man was who would end up marking his life and assured that, if he could turn back time, he would never have made that trip.
During the conversation, the former legislator described a relationship marked by fear and control. One of the most delicate episodes occurred when he discovered hidden cameras and microphones in a truck that Guzmán had given him.
The situation led to a confrontation that ended with an accidental shot that wounded the capo near one ear and, later, with a physical attack against him, from which he claimed to have escaped to seek help.
The former deputy also recalled having accompanied Guzmán during one of his escapes in Culiacán. According to their testimony, both traveled through an underground tunnel connected to the city's drainage system to evade an operation by the authorities. Sánchez stated that the drug trafficker was injured during the journey and that she helped him recover after the escape.
Likewise, she revealed that after the escape from the Altiplano prison in 2015, Guzmán contacted her again to request clothes. According to her version, one of the clothes that the capo used and that appeared in photographs released after his escape was sent by her.
Another of the topics addressed were the recent letters attributed to Guzmán from the ADX Florence maximum security prison, in Colorado, where he is serving a life sentence.
Lucero Sánchez expressed doubts about the authenticity of these documents and maintained that the handwriting used does not match the handwriting that she knew during the years that she had a relationship with the drug trafficker.
