I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thank you for your work on this article. Since it falls under WP:BLP, please add more sources. This will also help establish WP:Note. Thanks and have a great day!
This subject meets WP:BIO notability guidelines through significant coverage in multiple reliable sources:
Subject of international corporate scandal: Featured in detailed investigative reporting by St. Petersburg Times regarding Mobil Oil's violation of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (1999)
International legal incident: Criminal libel case against Wall Street Journal correspondent covered by Washington Post and UPI (1990)
Historical significance: Sheltered Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega during U.S. military invasion, documented in multiple books including Kempe's "Divorcing the Dictator"
Money laundering investigation: Named in prominent 1994 Miami case with "more than a dozen newspaper articles" per St. Pete Times
The subject is not merely mentioned in passing but is the focus of substantial independent coverage. Request notability tag removal. Ballance (talk) 13:28, 4 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
