Pepe Aguilar’s Wife Kidnapped!

In an interview on September 9, 2013, Pepe Aguilar opened up on the horrific incident of his life when his wife, Aneliz Aguilar Alvarez was kidnapped and held for ransom.

The four-time Grammy Award and three-time Latin Grammy Award-winning artist opened up about everything from his father’s death and the lesson it taught him, to his wife’s kidnapping.

He also talks about how Jennie Rivera’s death affected him,

“You had a lot of preconceptions about death, we all do and when it happens you actually see it as no big deal, as part of life.”

Aguilar also speaks about the terror of his brother and wife’s kidnapping in Mexico. He shared his fear upon calling his wife, who initially didn’t answer, and when she finally did, her words made no sense.

“It was the type of kidnapping that they’re calling them “express kidnappings.” What they do is they kidnap you and they put you in the trunk of your car just drive you around take your car, take your money, go to the ATM get all the money they have and then after 4-5 hours drop you in the middle of nowhere.”

Pepe’s Son Arrested on Human Smuggling Charges!

Pepe had already gone through a terrible incident of his wife’s kidnapping and in addition to the misery, the arrest of his 27-year-old son.

Authorities arrested Pepe’s son, Jose Emiliano Aguilar, on March 14, 2017, for allegedly smuggling four Chinese men into the United States in his car’s trunk, charging him with human smuggling.

As reported by Los Angeles, according to the court documents, Jose faced legal charges for the attempt to cross into the United States, when he was caught red-handed at the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego. He was accompanied by a female passenger as well.

The officers of U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) searched his car, Chrysler 200 with a K-9 unit, and found four Chinese citizens with non-official documents to enter the United States. During the investigation, the authorities seized the car.

Immigration

During the interview with the officers, the Chinese men revealed that they had agreed to pay Jose the amount between $3000 and $60,000 for the successful smuggling into the United States. Two of them were heading to Los Angeles, while the other two were headed for New York.

Following the arrest, Jose was released on paying a $15,000 bond and was ordered to live with his mother.

Moreover, he was not permitted to leave Southern California and was sent for counseling. And the four Chinese men were under an immigration hold waiting for the deportation proceedings.

Jose’s attorney Jeremy Warren released a statement regarding the incident stating,

“We understand the interest in our client Jose Aguilar because of his father’s musical career. However, this case has nothing to do with Pepe Aguilar. Jose Aguilar is young man who will address this matter in court, and not in the press. We understand that Pepe Aguilar will provide a statement shortly. In the meantime, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy.”

The Pepe Family

Pepe shares four children, two daughters- Aneliz Aguilar and Angela Aguilar, and two sons Leonardo Aguilar and Jose Emiliano Aguilar with his wife, Aneliz Aguilar Alvarez.

Pepe’s family is musically inclined, and all his children are singers, similar to their father.
