Like his siblings, Emiliano also might have accompanied his father on several musical tours around the nation. However, to date, there are no records of him performing on stage with his dad. But, we hope soon, we will get to see his musical skills, which he might have inherited from his paternal grandparents and dad. Or, maybe he will rise to stardom with his own skills in the upcoming days. For now, let’s have some patience and wait for him to shine out in his chosen field.

Charged For Smuggling Immigrants In 2017

Pepe Aguilar’s son, Emiliano Aguilar, was convicted to three years of probation in September 2017 in charge of trying to smuggle immigrants.

According to court documents, the Chinese immigrants promised to pay Emiliano between $3K to $60K if they successfully entered the United States. However, police officers caught him during a routine primary inspection in a border checkpoint in his Chrysler 200, accompanied by a lady in the passenger seat. The border agents arrested Emiliano and his companion while they removed the Chinese nationals from the car trunk.

Some days after Emiliano’s arrest, he was released on a bond of $15K with some conditions, including that he had to report to supervision to co-investigating services. Additional conditions were that Emiliano must undergo psychological counseling for six months and must live with his mom. Moreover, he had to surrender his passport so that he could not apply for further travel documents.

Emiliano Aguilar is free now and together with his family in the United States. However, he still maintains distance from the spotlight. As a result, there is still much more to know about his professional and love life.

A Tattoo Freak

So, despite being available on Instagram and having 19.2K followers, he has not shared many posts lately.
