Inés Coronel Barreras (born 21 January 1968) is a convicted Mexican drug lord and former high-ranking leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, a drug trafficking organization. He is the father-in-law of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the former leader of the cartel and once considered Mexico's most-wanted man. Coronel Barreras was arrested by Mexican security forces in Agua Prieta, Sonora on 30 April 2013. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison on April 28, 2017 for drug trafficking and illegal possession of firearms.
Inés Coronel Barreras was born on 21 January 1968 in Canelas, Durango, Mexico. He was also known by his alias "El Uno" (The One) and "El Suegro" (The Father-in-Law). His wife is Blanca Estela Aispuro Aispuro, and his daughter Emma Coronel Aispuro is married to Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel and once Mexico's most-wanted drug lord. Coronel Barreras was also related to Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel Villarreal, a former Sinaloa Cartel chief who was killed in a firefight with Mexican security forces in 2010. Coronel Barreras was officially a cattle rancher at the rural community of La Angostura, Canelas, Durango. However, people from the local area stated that he reportedly cultivated marijuana and opium poppies.
On 9 January 2013, the United States Department of the Treasury sanctioned Coronel Barreras under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (sometimes referred to simply as the "Kingpin Act"), for his involvement with the Sinaloa Cartel's illicit activities and coordinating drug trafficking operations for Guzmán. The designation also sanctioned Damaso López Núñez (alias "El Licenciado"), another Sinaloa Cartel chief who worked directly with Guzmán. Under the Kingpin Act, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) virtually froze all the assets Coronel Barreras had in the U.S. and prohibited U.S. citizens from doing any kind of business with him.
