"El Tena" one of the most wanted and still at large....

By Lucio R. Borderland Beat

The press is referring to this detainee, Sergio Huerta Tena, as “El Tena”.

With the name Tena, and being a lieutenant of Servando Gómez Martínez “La Tuta”, perhaps eager press went with the moniker.   Chivis, I and  BB readers questioned the name “El Tena” being associated with this detainee.  

First, before this arrest, information from Michoacán noted  Sergio Huerta Tena, as "El Pollo".

Secondly, “El Tena” that was most sought after by the autodefensa union is; Fernando Cruz Mendoza "El Tena" one of the principal jefe de plaza (regional) controlling parts of Tierra Caliente.

Cruz Mendoza was Nazario “El Chayo” Gonzales ‘right hand man and one of his most trusted men.

Going back to the original list of “Seven Heads” that comprised the autodefensas well publicized most wanted list,  one can see that “El Tena” and Isidro Virrueta Montejano, Alias “El Chicano o El Coco are the two remaining at large, who remain on the list.  


Chivis questioned Dr. Manuel Mireles about the list if the 7 was the full list of targets.  He replied that although these were the most important targets, there are others that are considered a part of the inner circle that must be apprehended to completely assure the operation will have a successful outcome.

He gave an example of “Pantera”, (who has been killed).

Isidro Virrueta Montejano is another exceptionally brutal Templario, he is in charge of executions of those who do not pay piso.

  Here is the original list of the seven heads- “El Tena” and "EL Chicano" remain at large.

1.- Servando Gómez Martínez “La Tuta”  (arrested)

2.- Nazario Moreno González “El Chayo” (Dead)

3.- Enrique Plancarte Solis “El Kike Plancarte”. (dead)

4.- Dionisio Loya Plancarte “El tío”. (arrested)

5.- Gerónimo Vásquez Mendoza “El Toro” (arrested )

6.- Fernando Cruz Mendoza “El Tena (at large)

7.- Isidro Virrueta Montejano, Alias “El Chicano o El Coco” (at large)
