Sauceda was a former investigative police officer,[3] who helped smuggle an average of 10 tons of cocaine and 30 tons of marijuana across the border each month.[4]

Arrest

He was captured on April 30, 2009 in Matamoros, Tamaulipas along with his wife and his bodyguard, Miguel Ángel Reyes Grajales.[3][5] Mexican Authorities had offered a 30 million pesos (about US$2.1 million) bounty for information leading to his capture.[2]

Kingpin Act sanction

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.[6] 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.[7]
