El Chapos’ Mum Dies Aged 94 After Begging For Her Drug Lord Son to Be Released
María Consuelo Loera Pérez, mother of one of the most powerful drug lords on the planet Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, has died aged 94 at a hospital in Culiacan, Sinaloa
Daily Mail 12 DEC 2023
The mother of one of the most powerful drug lords in the world has died at the age of 94, after begging for her son's release from prison.
María Consuelo Loera Pérez, mother of infamous Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, passed away at a private hospital in Culiacan, Sinaloa. Local reports suggest shed died following complications after surgery on her gallbladder 20 days earlier.
The hospital is located in the same city which is home to the cartel her son led for about two decades before his arrest and extradition to the United States in 2017. Her son was convicted in 2019 of running an industrial-scale smuggling operation.
Despite his crimes, in a March 2020 letter, Loera wrote to Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and pushed for her son to be returned to Mexico to serve out his sentence. She also won the right to a visa to visit her son in the USA. The head of Mexico's state media agency, Jenaro Villamil, described her as "a simple woman from Sinaloa" who always denied her son was in charge of the most powerful drug cartel in Mexico.
President Obrador said of her passing: "Respect to the family. I was reading the lady was already (ill) ... any human being who loses their life deserves respect and also consideration for their family members, for all those who go through these ordeals. Nothing human is foreign to me and we must not hate and we must put into practice that philosophical, universal principle of love for our neighbour and only by being good can we be happy."

El Chapo, 66, led the Sinaloa cartel for decades until his most recent capture in 2016 led to him being extradited to the US.
At his trial, prosecutors said evidence gathered since the late 1980s showed he and his murderous cartel made billions of dollars by smuggling tons of cocaine, heroin, meth and marijuana into the U.S.
He was jailed for life after being convicted of crimes including murder conspiracies and drug trafficking following a federal trial in New York in February 2019. He was also ordered to forfeit $12.6bn and is believed to be held in a supermax prison in Colorado known as “the Alcatraz of the Rockies”.
The US once placed a $5 million bounty on Guzman's head. Before being locked up in the US. Last year El Chapo claimed he is being mistreated in US prison after penning a seven-page letter bemoaning his treatment. The letter, written in English, said:
"Due to the treatment at ADMAX, now I suffer from headaches, memory loss, muscle cramps, stress and depression. The treatment I receive is cruel and unfair, and it is causing me to suffer from psychological and health problems."
