Comment: Original hook is my favorite, but I'm not too sure if it borderlines a BLP violation. Let me make my case for why it could be acceptable: the testimony came from a protected witness (an admitted cartel member who knew the couple and has assisted in trials) and from his wife (serving a 20-year conviction for drug trafficking). She admitted to the kidnapping and working for the cartel before and after their marriage. There are several sources mentioning the kidnapping case and their eventual marriage, all cited in the section "Kidnapping and marriage".

*@MX: a QPQ is still needed. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:55, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in English-language sources. Image is public domain. QPQ done. I have struck ALT2 because we've seen it many times before. ALT0 is very good, but I want to know why it wouldn't be acceptable. The woman married him of her own free will and afterward was convicted and jailed for being a cartel member. If you think she did all that not of her own free will, then we might reconsider the hook.

@Yoninah: Thanks for the review. There are no indications from the sources that she was forced to marry him. My only concern is that it may negatively portray Omar Lorméndez Pitalúa. Since the woman admitted to marrying him and was eventually convicted for her association with the Gulf Cartel, I think the hook is fine but wanted to get a second opinion.

I'm not seeing a BLP problem here, so I'm going ahead and approving it. Foreign-language hook ref AGF and cited inline. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:06, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
