Other namesEl Goyo,[2] Metro-2, Caramuela
OccupationLieutenant
EmployerLos Zetas

Gregorio Sauceda Gamboa is a Mexican illegal drug trafficker of the Los Zetas, when Los Zetas were the armed wing of the Gulf Cartel.[3][4]

Sauceda was a former investigative police officer,[4] who helped smuggle an average of 10 tons of cocaine and 30 tons of marijuana across the border each month.[5]

Arrest[edit]

He was captured on April 30, 2009 in Matamoros, Tamaulipas along with his wife and his bodyguard, Miguel Ángel Reyes Grajales.[4][6] Mexican Authorities had offered a 30 million pesos (about US$2.1 million) bounty for information leading to his capture.[3]

Kingpin Act sanction[edit]

On 24 March 2010, the United States Department of the Treasury sanctioned Sauceda-Gamboa under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (sometimes referred to simply as the "Kingpin Act"), for his involvement in drug trafficking along with fifty-three other international criminals and ten foreign entities.[7] The act prohibited U.S. citizens and companies from doing any king of business activity with him, and virtually froze all his assets in the U.S.[8]
