 * Comment: Subject is dead, BLP does not apply. Though subject was released from prison, the court did not deny the cocaine seizure happened. He was released due to the government's inability to correctly present the case without inconsistencies. Alternate hooks are welcomed. Most sources are in Spanish.

Still prefer the original hook because of the clause explaining who he is (i.e. Mexican). ALT1 is just not as good because of the lack of background. Rest of the review per Catrìona. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:28, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the review. Not sure if the AGF tick is needed since the English translation is available above. Cheers, MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 16:04, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
