A top-ranking Mexican drug lord who at one time headed the Gulf Cartel and is believed responsible for moving large shipments of cocaine into Houston, Texas, was extradited Thursday to face a U.S. judge.
Known in the criminal underworld as “Metro 1”, “M1”, “Gordo” or “Señor Gordo”, Mario Cárdenas Guillén is a brother of the former leader of the Gulf Cartel and founder of Los Zetas, Osiel Cárdenas Guillén. Metro 1 is also a brother to the late Antonio Ezequiel “Tony Tormenta” Cárdenas Guillén, who was killed in 2010 by the Mexican Navy in Matamoros.
Señor Gordo was arrested in September 2012 in the border state of Tamaulipas. At the time, he was the top leader of the Gulf Cartel after inheriting control from his late brother, Tony Tormenta in 2010.
