It’s a crime family affair.
The ex-wife of jailed Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and 16 other relatives strolled across the US southern border as part of a secret plea deal with the feds, according to reports.
Griselda Lopez Perez, who was married to the notorious former Sinaloa drug cartel boss, her daughter and other kin entered the US at the Tijuana/San Diego crossing Friday — a move believed to be tied to the government’s case against El Chapo’s youngest son, Mexico News Daily reported.
“It’s clear that with his family going to the United States, it’s connected to this negotiation or plea deal opportunity provided by the Department of Justice itself,” Mexican Security Secretary Omar Garcia Harfuch told the Spanish-language outlet Radio Formula on Wednesday.
