A Tactic To Divert Attention Away From Illegal Enterprise
According to the New York Post, former DEA deputy Jack Riley agrees with the theory that El Chapo has been using his spouse as a tactic to divert attention away from his illegal enterprise “Emma is the one who really speaks for him. He is a master of public relations, and he is using Emma in all of this to relieve his frustration with the way he is being treated and to buy some more time. It was successful for some time.”
According to Jack, El Chapo just used Emma as a means to divert attention from his illegal activities and to give the appearance to others that he is a devoted family member and loving husband to his wife. Despite his efforts, this approach was only successful for a short period.
