El Tío, was thought dead, until last May when he reappeared in a video challenging  autodefensa leader, Hipolito Mora, to a death match.
 
After the challenge, Mora responded by saying, "I find El Tio funny".  
 
The following is a transcription of the interview conducted by Luis Cardenas of MVS Radio :

The situation in Michoacán is really dangerous, it´s a situation where violence is very real, it´s a situation where organized crime has arrived at different places in Michoacán and simply taken absolute control, they don´t allow the entrance to food trucks, they don´t allow social workers, they don´t allow the vaccination programs, they have isolated the population, they don´t let them in or out or do anything. Some days ago a video emerged in YouTube, in that video “El Tio” from the Knights Templars threatened Hipolito Mora, leader of the Communitarian Police in La Ruana, in the video “El Tio” tells Hipolito “We either have a dialogue or we have a death match”

I want to thank Hipolito Mora, leader of the self-defense group in La Ruana for answering this call.


LC: Mr. Hipolito, good evening, how are you?

HM: Fine Sir, how are you?

LC: Fine, tell us, have you seen the video? Have you heard what “El Tio” from Knights Templar told you?


HM: Yes I have


LC: What do you think about it?


HM: Well, I have no problems with him! Ha hasn´t offended me, he has not hurt me, I have no anger towards him. I think I don´t have to dialogue with him because I don´t know him and I have never done business with him. I don´t have to duel with him because I have no problems with him. If he´s got problems with me, well I don´t know.


LC: It appears El Tio has problems with you…

HM: Well, yes he does but I don´t. If he wants to have a shootout with me, then maybe he has his reasons, but I don´t, that´s why I announce publicly I´m not going to accept his invitation because I don´t have problems with him.

I only set free my town and my people from them, they had them scared, they killed people whenever they wanted, they arrived at midnight scaring people without caring for the wives and children suffering, they just took them and killed them and we never knew about them anymore.

LC: How was La Ruana before you arrived with the self-defense groups? What did the Knights Templar did to you?


HM: The charged taxes on everything, they forced people to close their businesses anytime they wanted because they were going to sell in the only garden we have, they came to sell beer, wine and everything. They had the lemon controlled, the owners of the packing factories had to pay them a tax as they call it, the owners of the packing factories could not choose who they hired or from who they bought lemon, they were the ones taking the decisions.

The worst is they told them who to buy from, someone from them arrived with three thousand boxes and they bought it right away, some poor farmer arrived with twenty and they had to tell them they were full, they had no space for them but at the same moment they were buying two thousand boxes from them (Knights Templar) and they had us fucked.


LC: How much did they tax those who could even pay?


HM: About 1.5 pesos for kilo to all those who could even deliver lemon, besides that every truck had to pay 500 pesos to them; it was a lot of things they did to us. That´s the problem “El Tio” has with me.

According to the federal government the organizational structure of Caballeros Templarios is:

Primer tier: Servando Gómez Martínez, alias "La Tuta" o "El Profe"; Dionisio Loya Plancarte, "El Tío", and  Enrique Plancarte Solís, "La Chiva" o "Kike".

Second tier: Ignacio Rentería Andrade, "El Nacho" o "El Cenizo"; Samer José Servín Juárez, and Pablo Magaña Serrato, "La Morsa".

Note:  The government officially deems El Chayo..Nazario Moreno Gonzalez as deceased.

  3. Assuming Chayo is still alive, Loya would be number 3 of LCT. Regardless this arrest will further weaken LCT and that is great news.

  6. Well its official , the CT political power has run for cover. All bets are off now for the CT. They will be cleansed from Mich. I think they will start falling like nine pins now, each new place they go , someone snitches on their location. If I was tuta id have left the country already. The heat is on and its burning their Templar asses as they run from the fight.

  7. I wonder if he would've been captured if the self-defense leagues hadn't formed. Maybe they're trying to appease them and try to get them to put down their weapons through a few capture ct members.

  8. Hi Chivis. Since Kike Plancarte's kids made an appearance on many blogs, I've been searching for info on the families of the other ct heads. Something almost always comes up for all except Nazario Moreno. Do you have an info on his wife or kids? The only thing that came up was that his son died in Morelia but wasn't reported because of who his father is.

  9. Why post about the hipolito mora and tio death match now? This was big about a year ago. We want news on el tio being caught not the match that we all knew about. No ones mad, and its not your responsibility either to report on this, but i got excited only to read something that has already been posted here before. :/ hope to here more about el tios capture soon

  11. There is nothing about the capture other than the above.
    As far the other post I added, we often tie in stories so those new or those who missed the story will have all the information. Because you read it means very little, hate to burst your bubble but that is not the end all for me.

    As for him being third in line. Often that is not how organizational structure is created. There can be co premier leaders, and multiple 2nd in charge.

    as for Chayo, the government is sticking with the death story, so they would not include him in the organizational structure.

  14. BBC uk website has this story running. I suspect it wouldn't be shown if the source was not 100 percent .


    ""Mexican forces have captured one of the country's most wanted drug lords, officials say.

    Dionicio Loya Plancarte, known as El Tio (The Uncle), was one of the leaders of the Knights Templar drug cartel in western Michoacan state, officials say.

    The government had a 30m-peso ($2.2m; £1.3m) bounty on his head for drug and money-laundering crimes.

    Troops were deployed to Michoacan earlier this month after vigilantes clashed with gang members. "

  15. If it proves true, the dominoes are starting to fall for the CTs. But that's a big if. This guy supposedly died last yr., which was proven false after his video, and now he's captured?! If I'am not mistaken, el Azul and el Mencho were supposedly captured last yr. They've been captured a couple of times. They actually need to show this madhatter in live video handcuffed for me to belive he's been caught.

    1. Ha ha ha!! They caught that madhatter Tio with his pants down -- in a closet no-less. In fact, that wasn't a 16 yr. old teen he was caught with -- that was Broly Banderas!! He also had his pants down! ha ha ha!!! I guess their transition from members of the CTs to prison to prison won't be difficult to make!! Ha ha ha !!!

  16. Thanks for posting so promptly! Hopefully he stays in custody. If they don't announce this publicly on the news in the next day or so I'll be worried.
    Anyone know what a 'deathmatch' consists of? How can you have a one-on-one gunfight?

    And @ January 27, 2014 at 3:14 PM That was pretty poetic, nicely put!

  22. Just read the Voz Michoacan article now. I've asked six people from Mich if they'd heard about this, who are all pretty well-informed and know who he is. None of them has heard yet. Maybe they're waiting until this evening as Chivis said, to mention it at all on the news? Reminds me of when Z40 was arrested and they spoke about it everywhere EXCEPT Tamaulipas. I guess it is still early though.

  23. The Blomberg report says auto defense members are being offered positions in the local police forces in return for registering their weapons. Sounds suspicious to me (from my comfortable couch thousands of miles away). I hope the men are very careful about who they trust, or next time they will be defending their homes with slingshots and arrows. "By deception shall you do war." Sun T'su

  24. Am I the only one taking notice to why cartels and autodefensas form? Yes they have slightly different interests,but both formed because the lack of law,middle-class,jobs basically because the lack of government. Borderlandbeat should get more mentally involved and write an article about this.Surely chivis can do some damage.

  31. MUST SEE>>>

    Sometimes "flashy" stories overshadow great posts...case in point the post of Valor ..it is a video first account story of a minister and his family being captured by CT and he was forced to work with them for a couple of hours and then they were going to be killed....it is a must see...I intended to watch just a couple mins but I could not stop until it was over.

    I think a big part of Pena Nieto's political agenda is to not parade capos in front of the media. He mentioned he didn't want to glamorize them, wanted to make them less of a big deal, and was phasing out the strategy of targeting capos altogether. It's one of his mandates that makes perfect sense, but may or may not be honest in the way he carries it out. Some would argue he's pushing for more subtle, long-term crime-targeting initiatives like job creation because it's harder to measure and hold him accountable for, and allows him to avoid arresting guys with whom he may be collaborating. So it came as a surprise to people when he actually did arrest a few capos.

  37. Did he make the death match threat from that same closet or was he hiding his million dollar stash when he got caught? All these criminal leaders were making millions of dollars. Should be hidden close to where they get caught.

  39. El Tio is now faced with two options , the USA will certainly request his extradition to face federal charges on drug trafficking , twenty five years in federal supermax is what he deserves. The Mex gov will offer him a deal whereby he gets to stay in prison in mexico , in relative luxury compared to a fed supermax prison. The pay off , give up everyone in CT.
    The Mexican Federales will want to try him in Mexican courts because of the alledged 12 murders of their comrades and so will resist extradition to USA at all costs.

    It will be interesting to see what route El tio decides to go down. I hope he says nothing and is extradited. Let him spend what years he has left in supermax isolation contemplating what a vile , tyrannous , poor excuse for a human being he has become.
