Guzmán asked his lawyer to negotiate with U.S. authorities for a lighter sentence and confinement at a medium-security prison.
In an interview with Telemundo, Emma Coronel said that her husband was betrayed because he was told that the interview with Sean Penn would only be used to write an article.
“I want to thank everyone for their support, it means the world to me during this time,” the actress wrote on Twitter.
Mexican authorities have been seeking to interview the actress for an investigation of possible money-laundering involving Guzmán and Del Castillo's tequila business.
The Mexican actress is under investigation for her alleged links with Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera, leader of the Sinaloa cartel.
“They divert information with the intention to sink and slander @katedelcastillo, while politicians keep taking people's money,” Iván Archivaldo wrote on the unverified Twitter account.
The financial operators of the gang are among the detainees.
According to the sources close to Kate quoted by TMZ, “unbeknownst to her, Sean approached Rolling Stone Editor Jann Wenner, told him about the El Chapo meeting and got a green light to write the story for the magazine.”
"She never meant to disrespect anyone, all she wanted to do was to show a different perspective. This was for a film, a screenplay, not for an interview," her sister Verónica del Castillo explained.
She was called by the PGR to declare about the meeting with "El Chapo" Guzmán.
